I like it !!! cool idea and Ia agree the crushed car and suspension look great. Good load of equipment on bustle racks in back and good weathering.

Grzegorz,
I like your Abrams diorama idea. I think your challenge will be to create a realistically crushed car. You should get better pictures to help us see the details and the finish (paint & weathering).
I think this is your inspiration (image from the web):

Thanks for your opinion 
. In the same time I`m doing an another Abrams ( I love this tank ), but in different painting. This time I replaced the magic trakcs from the box and I used a trakc from Bronco:
As you can see it`s a fully workable trakcs links, this change gave me a great effect with a workable suspension. Couple photos:
And this is the rest of photos of my new abrams:
I hope you like it

Good idea with the crushed car.
Clean build of the abrams and a nice weathering on the first one.
The workable tracks look really good.
Keep on the good work.
cheers

Thanks to all of you for nice opinion. I would like to say that both tanks will be a part of bigger project. I`m going to create something like that:
I don`t know if I`m gonna make it but I`ll try

Grzegorz,
Maybe you could incorporate your two Abrams into a street/road scene to get a smaller diorama, with the Abrams crushing the car because there wasn't room to go around it (image from PrimePortal):
You could just do the road lanes with the center islands and maybe a simple wall on one side with the car "parallel parked" in front of it and in the way.
Don't get me wrong, your crosscountry diorama would look good, too. It's just gonna be pretty big.
I gotta get me a set of those Bronco M158 tracks!

Some of US Army tanks have paint a black tiger on. I`m looking for any information or pictures of this black tiger. If anyone knows something about it, please share with me of this knowledge. This is an example:
I would like to put that tiger on my model.

Hi Grzegorz. The photos you reference with the green tanks are US Marine tanks. In the initial invasion all US Army 3rd ID tanks were tan. I think there were a handful of tanks from Europe that fought up north with the special forces, and they MAY have been green camo, but I can't put my hands on any photos of them right now.
The tank you have built at the moment is a 3rd ID tank. So, it would not be accompanied by a green camo Marine tank or a green camo Army tank. The one photo you have of a tan and green tank together are Marine tanks.

You should repaint your camo tank in sand if you want these two together. Also, Echelon has a decal set that has other tanks from the same unit as the Dragon markings, 1-64 Armor Bn, 3 ID in the initial invasion so you can mark them similarly.

Hi
Everything has changed, my green Abrams, is not green anymore. I used a Vallejo Iraquian Sand paint to make him sand. Now I`m waiting for decals from Echelon and more sandy paint, because as you can see it doesn`t look to good ( I need more paint ). Couple photos:
