I am slowly building Dragon's M1A1 kit into an M1A1 TUSK I with a mine roller (Legends conversion, Eduard PE, Voyager Barrel, Spade Ace tracks and a mine roller robbed from the M1 Panther kit)
Question- I found pics of Agitated and Bad Influence with the mine roller. Are the tank numbers (A-XX and B-XX) still a mystery? Is it known if Bad Blessing ever had the roller? I'm not married to a specific tank. The barrel names of all of the above options can be easily replicated with some generic stencils, so any tank along that line would be fine. Since I am putting a lot of time and AM into it, I want to try to be accurate. If not, strategic mud splashes will have to suffice.

Mine roller is done.

Very nice looking. I'll be watching for updates.

thanks! Hoping to have the painting done by the weekend

Looks promising,mate. Keep it up

Tried my hand scratch building the armored gunner shields for the TC cupola. Glass and framing will be added after painting.

The angle of the top pic makes it look like one side is leaning out, but it really isn't

Looks real nice. Great scratch work

Nice work Jason. This is going to be nice. If remember correctly, there is a pic in tankograd book of M1A1 w/ Tusk and mine roller in Afghanistan. Is that what you are shooting for?

Btw, here's a armorama link that has another pic of the similar tank...

Yes, the tank in the Tankograd is the one I am doing. Thanks for the link!

Base camo is on. Opinions?

Little more done

Great looking camo job.

thanks. Still lots to do on both adding parts and painting. Can't wait to dull that shine!
