Olivier:

I would only suggest some of the stowage be strapped down. The .50 cal boxes in front of the turret bins are strapped down too.

If you are going for a tank that has seen any action at all, I would put some black residue at the base of the co-axle MG (not at the barrel end, but at the base where gas escapes). YOu should be able to find plenty of photos of this on the net. It almost forms kind of a star shape.

Hi all,
I appreciate your input.
I posted updated pics with a poor crew (not in my painting skills !). The post title isM1A2 complete.

I still have to do some extra work like the powder residue and the gear tie-downs.

Ken,
I don't know if I've perfectly understood your post. Correct me if I'm wrong.
The Rivet Review Board is dedicated to in-progress pics for those willing to get critiques from the fellow members.
That's why I posted this here. I knew my M1 was not yet complete.

The post I mention in bold letters above is posted in the Armor forum as I thought my model complete. It has not vanished. So no need to apologize, I don't think you did harm to my post

I think you are taking the Rivet Review Forum a bit too far. Isn't telling someone that they did a great job a critique as well. It doesn't always have to be followed by a negative critique. I think you are being a bit anal here.
