here are some pics of the kit





im going for OOB on this kit - it has everything you can think of. Im adding some AM decals for a OIF battle wagon



1/37 armour -- so actually a euro camo instead of the sand.

Hi people!

Great subject Mark. I will follow for sure.

Cheers!

Marco

Here is the progress made so far.

In this photo I filled in the alignment holes for kit periscope guards in preparation for installing periscope guards from the PE set.


Here the holes are filled in and excess removed. Some PE is in place on the drivers hatch.


In this image, the PE periscope guards are in place. I have added a resin antennae base.


More PE work completed.


This photo shows the beginning of work on the rear ramp. You can see the difference between the PE tow cable 'keeper' and the kit molded 'keeper' that the tow cable goes around.


These next two shots show the completed rear ramp. I used an extra PE power socket from a HMMWV PE set to replace the molded on power socket that is to the right of the tow pintle.

Hi people!

I think it is done! This is my first campaign.

My RG-31 was OOB, except the ma deuce (I used an Academy one).

To the base I used the J's Work stuff that came with the kit.

I hope you like.
















Thank you guys!

Marco

Marco

the easy bit is done ! really went together very well, and the detail OOB looks superb to me.

Hello Mark,
nice work there, was the barrel also part of the kit?

Paul

Nice work so far.

Cheers!

Marco

Hi people!

How can I post pictures in the gallery?

Thanks in advance.

Marco

Here I have completed preliminary assembly of the Commanders Cupola.





The holes on the right side of the cupola hatch interior are actually filled and smooth. I used CA glue as the filler and it appears translucent when sanded.

Nice work so far Brent!

Is allways good see an M113.

Cheers!

Marco

I am in with this

Hi Jose!

I never see a braile Abrams. I'll follow. My hands are to big to build these little tanks and I admire those who have the ability to do this.

Cheers!

Marco

Hey guys I was just wondering if I could join this campaign? or is it too late in the game? I got something in the stash I can build.

Thanks Marco, i try to finished my Abrams as your RG-31. The model is beautiful!!!!!!

Thank you Jose!

@ G!

I do not know if you can. But, did you try to enlist in campaigns page?

If you can enlist, you can participate.

But i think only the owner of this campaign or the campaigns moderator can answer for sure.

Cheers!

Marco

Well, I start my little Abrams

Well it allowed me to enlist, so I'm gonna get cracking on my Abrams! Can't wait to be involved with my very first group build!

Thank you for allowing me to participate!

Thanks for the advise Marco!!!!!!!
I read all the messages and the campaign post but I forget to enlist.....

Hi people!

This RG-31 was my first campaign too.

Good luck! I will follow.

Cheers!

Marco
