It's not much, but I figured those who are modeling this tank would appreciate it. This photo was taken after Baghdad fell. I love the weathering. I think someone else posted a photo of this tank showing it is a similar condition.

I figured some reference material is better than none. I will ask Sgt Olson to keep us modelers in mind the next time he is taking photos! :-)

hey

i found a picture too here you can see the weathering better


,Gijs

I think there is too much chipping and rust on that to be realistic


Someone needs to make a little resin skull too

Hi Bob,
Please exist raer wiev on tanks this company. This is crucial for stowage and marking.
On Echelon decals is perfect marking but I not see rear wiev. I think that all tanks is not the same.

Miloslav, I am sorry but I am not 100% sure what you are asking. Maybe others can help me out.

Are you asking if I have rear views of tanks from A Company since the markings should be different for each tank and somehow the Echelon decals must be wrong? Or are you just asking for rear views of A Company? Or rear views of any 3rd ID tanks?

Bob

Yes my interested rear wiev A company. I seeon pics and I see two diferent pics "All Bout Da Bones".
One is very dirty and more rost, one very clean. I am interested about A32 and A33 rear and side wiev.
I have A32 right side. I gladly make of stowage and identification panel accurately according to real tank.
Thanks
Miloslav

If anyone has them in their stash, I need the same photos as Miloslav. I have searched high and low online for them. The AIM instructions have the ID panels mounted up to the very front of the bustle rack, and in pictures I keep seeing other tanks with them about in the middle. That and I'm having trouble finding good pictures of exhaust patterns.

Miloslav:

The markings on the rear of these vehicles are discussed in the instruction sheet. They will have their QTA number in the center above the grille, and the bumper codes on the rear depending on their vehicle number. Also, the battle board on the bustle rack as pointed out at the top of the instructions (#6 and #7). And a rear CIP just like the side ones, which are blank.

I will try to find you whatever photos I have, if any of the rear of these tanks.

Bob

Thank you very much in your help.
