I just completed this few weeks ago. I traded a club friend of mine for it, but the deacals were missing. So I used some from a M113 kit that I had. Anyway here's my take on the M2A2 by Tamiya.

Looks good man, can never have enough modern US armor. How did you do your periscopes? I've read about several ways to paint them and I was just wondering how you got your results.

Fantastic work, Terry!! Love the paint and weathering.

Did you use any aftermarket items?

And what brand/colors did you use to paint the vehicle.

Keep up the good work! You're inspiring me to finish mine.

With Regards and Aloha,

Johnny B.

Some of the stowage is after market.

I used Tamiya paints and oil washes(Windsor and Newton oil paint). The colors are Buff lightened with Deck tan. I can't remember the ratio. I just mix until I get the color I want.

Thanks

Really like this build. Nice washes. Nice improvements to the bustle bin ammo can racks and near mantlet.

Thanks for all that stoage tied down!

Question - out of laziness - who made those tie-down straps. They look PE but I like how they hang off the bolts like on Brad's and Strykers?

Thanks for sharing with us.

Well first thanks!

Haha those PE straps are from my scrap box. I think they were part of a T-55 set. I don't even remember what they were originally.
