This is a project that i did some time ago and I was finally able to get a digital cammera to take the pics, so here is the Angry American. The painting was done by a close friend of Mine and the Interior was also done by another firend of mine as well. So without any delay, Here is the Angry American....









I want to say a very special Thank you for all that helped on this project, with advice and help on history and everything else.

Real nice build. I think the NATO scheme is much more interesting than the desert scheme. You did a great job with color tones and shading as well as execution of scheme layout. GOOD JOB

Thank you for your replies, but i can't take the credit with the paint job, But i will let my Friend know that y'all loved the Colors. Also I would have a agree with ya'll on them, the NATO colors are always fun to see in the Army. It has so much more color then the normal Desert Paint.

Looks pretty good. Only a few things that I see. First is the roadwheels. The US doesn't vary the color of the roadwheels to match the camo, they should all be green. The center hubs of the roadwheels should be black with green nuts as well. The gear is a little off too. The large rucks on either side of the turret should not be camo, they only come in green. The medium ruck (smaller of the two) on the right side is fine in camo though. The sleeping bag stuff sack should be flat black too. Lastly, it is missing the USMC BRE that was carried by this tank. Other than the above, it looks pretty nice. Good job to your team build.

Nice looking tank!!! Have you tried using some Mig pigments to give it the added dusty look? I think that would be the icing on the cake.

More here.

Here is a review I did of an AM one (not sure if is still available though). Eduard also does one, and there is in the Academy OIF Abrams kit.
