Excellent work! The weathering is magnificent! How did you work your way with the oils?

As a first post in several years I'm going to nag at someone's work but...

M1s in Iraq, especally those with TUSK kits don't carry all that gear on the side rails or bustle rack. Its too much of a fire hazard.
I know it looks cool, but its just not accurate. The most that they carry is a cooler and a fire extinguisher or two.

Your tank is in "campaign mode" circa the invasion of 2003 when TUSK wasn't even a concept yet. Even then all that personel gear would get put in those near empty bustle racks before it were lashed to the troop rails.

Other than that, its a very well done tank!

Then where are the "plasma laser cannons in the 40 mW range"?

The same lessons learned about urban combat that let to the TUSK kit also led to the adjustment of the load plan to leave all the easily combustible personal gear off the tank or in the sponson boxes.

Just trying to point something he might not have considered when working on the project. I like the "Gypsy wagon" look as much as the next guy, but sometimes its not appropriate. And to any tanker who's crewed an M1 in Iraq, all that stuff stands out as an incongruity.

Did they take out the Left Rear Fuel Cell on the TUSK tanks? The Fill Cap is missing on his build...
