Hi All,

I just got my new Trumpeter M1A1/M1A2 5 in 1 kit in the mail. Since I have so many M1A1/M1A2 Dragon kits, I'm probably never going to build the tank itself, but I got it for the Mine Plow and Mine Roller, which I plan on putting on some of my Dragon tanks. I'm excited! I presume there are threads here that discuss detailing these items, and maybe even discuss how to hook them onto the tank. If not, I'm gonna need some help.

Great stuff, Henri, thank you! I'll need all the details i can get, as I understand that the Trumpeter roller and plow aren't the best in detail. I will dress mine up the best of my ability, though, and any images i can get would be appreciated. I have been looking here and on PrimePortal since my post, and I've found some good stuff, but your post is great! Thanks again!

You're welcome Curt. I've got dozens of plow-fitted Abrams pics (both Army and USMC ones, mostly OIF) but no good close-ups of the plow itself...

PrimePortal is indeed the best place to get you started

What are those long rectangle thingies hanging off the bustle rack of the tank with the Gatorade bottle? Never seen those before
