Hi to everybody at Armorama. My name is Christian, 37 and I'm from Germany. This Abrams is my first build since a couple of years and the first one I'm using an airbrush for painting. I hope you like it.

The anti-slip is flour. Paint a part of the model you want it and sprinkle the flour on it. Then remove the excess. Now you have a good looking anti-slip.

Welcome to Armorama and welcome back to the hobby Christian.

Awesome build!

And thank all of you very much for this welcome.

nice work, and very nice job on the anti slip, flour huh, never even thought of using it.

Guten Morgen Christian,

did you use the new Tamiya M1 A2 SEP? nevertheless, an excellent paint job and the COMROD antennas give an extra touch.
Go on this way.

Cheers Hans-Hermann

What's not to like? The anti-slip technique you used is new to me. I just mask and use textured spray paint.

Moin Hans-Hermann,

yes, it's the Tamiya Kit. And Thank You.

Best
Chris
