I'm in the process of building a Dragon M1A2 SEP and the vehicle I have in mind is the 16th Cav. Regt. tank depicted in the kit.

I've looked for photos of vehicles to help with my build but I'm not having much luck at the moment.

Does anyone have any photos that could be of help? Close ups or full view would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

The 16th Cavalry Regt. is the Armor Center training unit located on Fort Knox, KY. It is a cavalry regiment in name only and consists of officer/NCO students, instructors, command and staff personnel, and a support organization that provides vehicles for training and static displays during on post events. The markings were probably based off photos taken of a dressed up display tank during the Armor Conference or during some sort of vehicle demonstration.

Des,
The pictures of G-23, 1-16 Cav were taken before the 2002 Armor Confrence by myself. I sent several shots to Vodnik, so there would be a NATO-flage painted option for the A2SEP kit. If you want, I can look around and see what I still have in my pictrue collection.

John if you could do that for me it would be immensely appreciated. It is the vehicle I'm hoping to depict with my build so photos of the actual tank would be priceless.

I'll PM you my email address if you'd prefer.

Thanks in advance John.
