Hi All. I was wondering if anyone can help me with any and all referance for the Boba Fett project I am about to start.

Just to clarify.
Not this Boba Fett.


This is the Boba Fett that I want to build. Unfortunately this is the only photo I have.


Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Since these are M1A2 Abrams SEPs, then they are part of III Corps. By the barrel names, the unit should be B Company (all start with "B"), but then you have to find out if they belong to the Armor Battlalions/Squadrons under either the 4th Infantry Division, the 1st Cavalry Division, or the 3d Armored Cavalry Regiment .

Echelon Fine Details has a set with "Boba Fett" as part of the 4ID: US Army 4ID M1A2 SEP Barrel Names & Bumper Codes, D356023 . Unfortunately, I cannot tell which unit designation goes with which name (from Echelon's posted web info).

4ID supposedly had/has the 1 Battalion, 65 AR Regt (1-65 AR), 1 Battalion, 66 AR Regt (1-66 AR), and 1 Battalion, 67 AR Regt (1-67 AR). The 4 ID's webpage has unit history for the 1-67 AR which states "...The 1st and 3rd battalions are assigned to the 4th Infantry Division IRON HORSE, 2d Brigade Combat Team, Fort Hood, Texas..." so there may have been a 3-67 AR prior to the BCT Reorganization.

That would make the tanks part of either B/1-65 AR, B/1-66 AR, B/1-67 AR or B/3-67 AR.

I hope this helps, some...

After reviewing the information for the 4ID on Global Security's webpage, their information indicates that only B Company of 1 Battalion, 67 Armored Regiment, 2 Brigade had M1A2s.
1-67 AR

The B company for 3-67 AR BN supposedly was orgnaized with M2A2 Bradleys, while the M1A2s were orgnanic to the C and D Companies. Global Security's site states that 1 BDE's 1-66 AR BN and 3 BDE's 1-68 AR BN both had M1A1s as of 2001.
4 ID (MECH)

The above information is only from Global Security's website, so don't assume it's 100% correct.
