A few minutes ago I put parts five and six of Abrams kit comparison article on my web site - this concludes the article.

Here is the link:

Some minor corrections and additions to the article are still possible, but no major changes are planned (until some completely new Abrams kit appears on the market!).

Cheers,
Pawel

Great job on the Article !
Nice site by the way ,good reading their.

Pavel,
The parts below that you don't know what it is, is a cable wire reel holder. I have never seen one on an Abrams, but they are on M981 FIST-Vs on the top sloped area of the external fuel tanks and on the back of M577 and M109 series of Howitzers..

Thanks Pavel...I greatly enjoyed yur entire article. I recently built the Dragon version with mine plow for the Abrams campaign and have to comment that I did not enjoy making the kit. It was not simple and fun to build...just like you hinted at. The kit when finished looks good and with some detailing and weathering , it is a nice show piece but it makes me shy away from building other M-1 varieties. Give me an old M-60 any day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice comparison you have there my friend!

Very nice articles all round too!

Thanks for the great read

Thanks Pawel. Great article. I learned a lot from it. Keep them coming.

I have both the Dragon and the new Tamiya kit. Had both out as I would read your article, now I cant wait to start the tamiya kit, yet I now fear the Dragon kit...ugh. I hate you now...lol.
Thanks for the article, it was very informative.
