Nice bit of work Abrams Smile [:)]

Not quite the way the Germans did it in the few pics I have seen ... but what the heck. Yours looks more stable than theirs.

Thanks for sharing ! Approve [^]

You don't do things slowly, do ya??! It takes me that long to get the shrink wrap off, drool over the parts, and read the instructions a couple of times!

Are those your "Happy Birthday" sprue cutters in the forground? What make are they??

And it does look very nice.
(Don't know if you saw, on another thread I mentioned I bought my first M1. But goofed and got the Trumpter. Still, I got it for $15, so I'm not complaining TOO loudly! (Do need to off the tracks, though)

Have a terrific day;

I thought that that would be where they put it, but I like it better this way. besides, I'm going to have 2 brens on the top. (not together, though)

Looking good, M1!
I can see where the driver sits now. Forgot the Brits sit on the right!
As do the Japanese.(Cars, anyway!)
I still get confused driving on the left side of the road here!

Nice work Abrams...you are churning those models out very quickly. I also noticed the paint job on this project. Did you use your airbrush?

Nice work.

Cheers

It looks terrific!
I can't even get a canopy (yes, I do the occasional winged thing) masked and painted that fast! (Just ask the Wildcat canopy I did this week, and get to do over!! :-( ).
I've got Xuron's sprue cutter, and I'm not as happy with them as I thought I'd be for the price!

just a suggestion, push some of that sh@t aside and put a piece of cardboard (or calendar photo, etc) for the background and the pic will look better :)

Nice build :)

thanks for sharing,
