Thanks Paul l'm not a super detailer like you are but i'm trying i found out a site with TONS of pictures of the Abrams... soooo much to do.. ;-)
 
On my 1 72 Flyhawk Abrams they left off the two cable hoops on the back as well. Its strange it happened on the 1 35 as well. Nice to see you added them. Did they supply the smoke grenades for the launchers or do you have to add them as well?

Thank you Steve really appriciate...i have a doubt on the color of the lenses of the Ipo/peri scopes... i saw pictures of the Abrams M1A2 but for some reasons i cannot see them on the M1A1....
 
It depends on which way you are looking at them and which way the light is shining on them. They vary in colour from red to purple to orange to blue. I know Mick looked into using tape on his Israeli tank build. I just did a mixture of colours as it didnt matter so much on a smaller scale.

This might help as well HERE

Greg,
Just joined in Greg, sorry I was late, chasing a money spider of my keyboard.
This is going to be interesting. Ref the lenses, you can buy those direct and work a treat, I will have a search throug my stuff and find the ones you need if not too late.
Cheers, Mike.
Check out AFV Club for the lens.
