Funny you should post this, I received this kit for Christmas and made a thread yesterday asking about Abrams references, and I forgot to mention it in that thread, but this tank, I think is one the one I would like to depict. So, a second on asking for any detail photos.

I still waiting for my Abrams kit, I will build my tank sand colored from Steel Tigers after the unit returned from Iraq to Germany. There are some good reference books from Concord, assault journal no 9, and wings and wheels publication.
Yours
Andreas

You can find more photos in the book "Abrams in Detail" published by WWP.

Don't know if it will help with that particular tank, but for modeling Abrams' in general have you seen this which is supposed to be out soon?

Is this thing really blue or is the printer just out of yellow?
I can believe talking scarecrows and wizards in great emerald cities, but I refuse to believe there is no paperwork involved when your house lands on a witch.

I think that is just how the Dragon instruction sheet looks

Nice pic; at first I thought it was a different type of barrel shroud but looking closer it appears to be the reflection of something on the wet barrel.
As to the blue instruction sheet - yah, that's a new scheme for The Marines! Copying the Chinese for a change!
