evening folks,

I've got a couple abrams kits here in the stash A1's and A2's, what I'm looking for * if possible to find* are any AM interior sets. anyone know of any ? an if so know if they are still on the market to get ? and where might I find them or does anyone have such set and if so would you be willing to part with it ? ofcourse I'll buy or trade.

any help would be greatly appricated

The only interior sets I know of are the following:

- interior by Verlinden
- interior included with Dragon/DML M1A1HA
(- engine set by Legend productions -> only engine and engine compartment)

I think I saw a set by Real Model some time ago, but am not sure, and don't know the quality.

The Verlinden set is an old set re-issued to make easy money with OIF, it's not worth the money.

Dragon/DML interior is not good either, but if you have it, you could use it as a base and scratchbuild the rest.

Sorry, don't have serial/model numbers for these sets, but try searching any of the major online model stores..


Hope this helps a bit

There is no accurate interior for the Abrams, the Verlinden set and the DML parts are complete fantasy. I looked for a couple years before I decided to scratch the interior of mine.

Unfortunately, no one out there is producing any AM parts.
Fortunately, you'll find here at Rob's motorpool enough pics to detail you interior enough while your turret halves closed and the hatches opened.
If interested, have a look at my attempt in my gallery here.


cheers

For some more, the Discovery Channel made a great documentary about USMC Tank School at Fort Knox. It is titled "Tank School," 1hr program covering the major aspects of armor school run by the Maries at Ft Knox, training, firing, simulators, ect. Great program, shows great interior shots while firing, should be some help to a scratchbuilder. Usually you can order them for $20 through their website if you are interested.
