Thank you Gino,I thought that was the case,but was not sure.Thanks again.Jeff

HI, i'm building the Abrams this days and came across another issue:



The parts 60, what are this? some kind of brackets? On the reference photos, I don't see this detail.

Parts 60 on the PE are pickets that are usually used by pounding them into the ground and striniging concertina wire on them. In this case, they have been bolted or welded to the back of the tank to hold rolls of concertine wire. This is not a feature of the tank, but something the crew would do to make carrying the concertina easier. They do not need to be added, but can be if you like.

Geez these are complicated beasts! I'm glad I do WW2 stuff, much less complicated!

Here's an example :

Thanks for the photos!

I need to know something, did the Abrams from 90-91 had Anti slip coat on the turret and the main body like the ones today?

If yes, is there any other good solution to reproduce that excluding Mr surfacer??

Yes, there was anti-slip on them at that time. Pretty much all Abrams have it.

Here is an easy alternative to Mr. Surfacer.

I'll post this Q here , so I don't need to open a new thread:

I need some photos of Iraq or Kuwait streets, urban ones, so with some signs, asfalt, maybe checking point or so, I'll looking for some inspiration, but I don't know how the streets looked like in '91. (ODS)
Thanks

Most of the battles during ODS took place in open Iraqi desert, a few cities in Kuwait, and in Khafji, Saudi Arabia. There were no battles in any major Iraqi cities and no real check points in Iraq.

It would be better to do it on a desert road or just in the desert.
