Hi guys.

I thought I should do one of my rare armour projects and build an Australian Abrams out of RFM's kit.

But now I could use lots of reference pictures, so can you give me some pointers on where to find these? Tried a google search and found some, but not that many.

Really thankful for any help.

Couple of walkarounds here:

The Mouse House armour site also has info. Arms Corp Models do (or did) conversions to do the Aussie version from the Dragon kits. Echelon do the decals for both the sand scheme and AUSCAM. Hope this helps.

If you PM me, I can send you a detailed list of the corrections you need to make to the RFM kit.

Biggest question is what vehicle (and what date / time) you wish to base your build upon.
