The best thing that a modeller can do to save time and money is WAITING! This will be my first RMF kit.

Thank you kind sir!
You can hold me responsible for the recent DML PzBefehlswagen III H. I recently built a conversion of the old Cyber Hobby Pz III F into a Befehlswagen.

Fantastic scratch work!
If I am not mistaken, that device, which I always thought was just a different type of mine plow, can be and is also used on 'regular' M1 Abrams tanks. Can you confirm, Pete? I wonder if RFM will consider making a stand-alone kit of that device, like AFV Club did for the IDF Mine Roller. I would absolutely buy at least one of those, not sure I would spend the money to simply 'part raid' the RFM kit for the front end, though I did so for the Mine Plow (bought both Tamiya and Academy kit for the Mine Plows).

Curt,
I've only seen it on the ABV, but then again, I'm not around the motor pools any more. Gino(HeavyArty) would be a better person to ask if it's been on plain Abrams.

By looking at the box art, can someone tell which time period the proposed model is based off of? With Duke antennas, it looks like a more "recent" offering.
Thanks.
Thanks.

The ABV with the dukes fitted represents a vehicle in Afghanistan with them removed it wouldn't take much to build another version such as one based on South Korea.
