Nice little build you have there. Are you going to build another for the M1 G.B.?

Thanks guys! All it needs is the dull coat and I'm in th process of making some stowage in the form of tarps and cammo nets. It had tow cables molded in but I shaved them off because of bustle rack fit problems plus they didn't look too good. I may scratch build cables as well. I also have both a challenger 1 and a Merkava in this scale as well that are nearly finished. They are just awaiting decals.

Nice job, MGM. Hope my Tamiya M1A1 looks as good.

M1A1 "The Duke" [pics]
Posted by MartianGundamModeler on Friday, March 12, 2004 2:30 PM
This is my first armor that i consider truly 'finished'. It is a 1/48 scale M1A1 Abrams by "Kitech" which I really beleive is just another name for a company called Zhengdefu. Once again these pics were taken with my web cam so i must apologize for the quality. Swerdna up in the Abrams grouo build post suggested that i throw in some NATO green raod wheels to add contrast to the UN Abrams i'm building. I decided to take him up on it and try the idea on my 1/48 "practice kit" first. I loved the result so much I actually ended up doing four random road wheels in green counting the spare on the bustle rack. THANKS SWERDNA WHEREVEER YOU ARE! Well anyway here are the pics!

Note that there is a small silluet [sp] of a "duke" on horseback on the right side of the turret beside the barrel. As usuall all opinions are welcome. I use everything I learned on this site to build it i.e. the wash and using future on teh decals.
