Been making slow but steady progress on my Abrams. Base colour on, wheels painted. Adding some scratch elements like wiring and such. Made my unit marker as well, looks good (not great but good). I will post current pics once I get them uploaded hopefully tomorrow. Cheers.

Made some more progress on D31 this weekend, not much, but some. Finished the Unit Marker for the back of the bustle, touched up the commanders, loaders and drivers hatches and did the first layer of chipping and wear and tear. All in all pretty happy with what I have accomplished so far. Cheers.

Damon: nice Abrams there, good effect on the anti slip
John: your Magach looks great, especially when I compare to that thing I had
.
Larry: Great M60, I remember on one exercise in Germany, we parked up next to one of them, we couldn´t get over how high the things were compared to a Chieftain
MBR: nice start on your M26, keep it up
I´ve added the red tape for the op-forces, the crews webbing
and a few other bits need to be added. Not far to go now:



I´ll be glad when I get my new camera next week, I just hope it plays up to what I´ve heard

Awesome kit and you will have a blast building it. I got one awhile back and couldn't get over how much fun it was. Have Fun

Paul, the Chieftain's coming along nicely! A quick question regarding the red tape- was that used in local exercises, or part of a country wide op such as Reforger? Just curious. I've seen other NATO nations equipment with things like colored crosses, and so forth, but I've never seen the tape! Thanks, and looking forward to the finished work! I'll be posting updated pics a little later today....
