discussion Meng 1/35 Abrams M1A2 TUSK

[Mr Bowcat]

Morning guys.

The end is in sight. I've been pushing on to get it finished as the BoB GB starts today.

I started yesterday by attaching the tracks, which were a PITA trying to get the two part pads clipped together without anything to push down on. I got there in the end after much swearing. :tears-of-joy:

I then proceeded to add all the glass components, co-axial MG and fit the commanders cupola. The other bits of glass (vision blocks, lights) that had been fitted earlier were unmasked. Finally I got the various bags, jerry cans, MRE boxes, ammo boxes etc arranged in the stowage bins. I still have the two top MG's to install, but will do this after the final weathering stage.

Hi Bob
That is superb. The weathering is just right. Very realistic and not over done. Looking forward to the final stages and the base.
