Hey doog! Those things do really look like a tank with saddle bags. Lol

Nice work! Yes, great clean job there. It's nice to see more modern stuff here.

Thanks everyone. The Ariete is at the same league as the other MBT you posted. It has a 120mm gun, also protected with its advance reactive armor but seems a little lighter in weight compared to the heavyweights. Though not of the same quality of Tamiya still it was a nice good build and really enjoyable.

Not only is that a nice, clean build, its also a cool looking tank! Good work Eric!

BTW, I don't know much about the Ariete tank.....how does it compare with some of the other countries' MBTs like the Abrams, Challenger 2, Leopard 2, T-90, Leclerc, etc.?
