That's what I love about modern armor, there are new pictures coming out everytime!, thanks for the pics

those are great pics,btw, are they copyrighted?

These pictures were given to me by a friend of mine who was over in Iraq for a year. He gave me permission to put them online to share with the modeling community. So as far as copyright, he would hold that.

I'm glad you enjoyed the picture Dragonslain, there will be more to come.

In the third row, third picture there is an Abrams w/ mine plow that has some triangle type thing that runs vertically and is attached to the mine plow. Does anyone know what this is? It looks like it might be an extra clearing device to catch what the track width teeth and the dogbone miss.
Kyle

This is actually a piece that is supposed to be on all TWMP's but is commonly removed to save weight, as the mine plow alone adds 5 tons to the front of the track. I will try and find the mine plow manual online and put the url in here. It explains it in greater detail.

As for the copywrites, every picture is automatically copywrite protected by the government, whether a pictures is registered for copywrite or not. All you have to do is take a picture and it is copywrited.

These are some great pictures Don.

Rob

You are all very welcome.

If anyone has anything in particular they are looking for from Iraq or even Afghanistan, let me know. I am sorting through 12 GB of OIF pictures and I hav another friend sending me pictures from Afghanistan on a regular basis.

I have one: how about some of the M8 Buford? The 82nd was supposed to receive them by March and it is August so....
Kyle

Kyle,

I did a quick run through of the pictures that would have the 82nd in them, no luck on the Buford. I will keep looking.

Don

I didn't think that there would be any but thanks a lot for checking.
