Hi, I'm not busy with vehicles, but also build models that I like, I do not know to which version it is my M1, but I hope it will suit you nevertheless. I bought this Italeri kit for 1 € on Ebay, and just stuck together.

Here is the first picture, I primed the reflectors and yellow taped off with tailored crepe. The vehicle identification I have primed beige and sealed with adhesive numbers. Ah, from the yellow of course with a white background, then the yellow color covers the first spraying.


The model is painted, I work here at the Green for the airbrush color. And I wear the camouflage with the brush.


Here you see the M1A? peel off after the tapes.

I hope you look back over time.

Greetings Jürgen

Juergen,

Your Abrams is the M1A1 version (120mm Main Gun, bolted plate "manhole" instead of the CITV).

It looks like the turret bustle rack bars neeed some cleanup, since it appears there are some sprue attachment remnants along the bars.

it may be the images, but the green in your three-color NATO camo pattern is too light in hue.

From the markings and fittings, it would be an early 1990s tank. The yellow markings were actually just reflective tape stuck to the corners of the vehicle (red ones used on back) in order for the vehicles to be seen by civilian drivers on the German roads and autobahn.

Hello here I am again, today I see the first pictures of my diorama base.





The first test to determine the size.




The painted concrete wall.






I translated all my texts with Googel translator, I hope you can read it.


Greetings
Jürgen

Juergen,

I thought your Abrams looked familiar:

My M1 Abrams

I'm confused.

At first, I thought this was a second build to make a far better finished diorama, but both posts contain the same images. Your post from January of last year actually was very good anyway!

Even accounting for poor language translation, why are you posting this as if it were a new build a year after you already have done so?

Hello, big sorry, I could not remind me any more of it. not be angry please.

Greeting from Germany Jürgen

Juergen,

I am not angry, I am just confused by your duplicate posting.
Are you trying to provide additional explanation of building your excellent diorama?

Or are you getting older like me, and cannot remember things I have already done before?
