very nicely detailed kitset persee, but what a plain and ugly tank the Abrams is compared to a Leopard A6, Brit Challenger 11 or French Leclerc, unless you are an American of course :-)


True it may be plain but to those who use it consider it to be a very pretty tank. Than again, with the plain and simple lines there is less to snag a boot toe and fall off.

The Challenger is a nice looking tank too. I'm just waiting for a Scottish unit to put Tartan track skirts on it. :-) :-) :-)


I think the Leopard is kinda wacky looking. If the turret was any larger it would look like more like a sandwich with tracks then an afv and the Challenger looks like there was once a tank completely hidden under a non-stop onslaught of additional hardware. :-)
