Wonderfully detailed turret Ian, nice work on the chassis too.:thumb2:
Found some info on the base coat here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dG4CLaBMfVU
They didn’t say anything about any model colours though…:rolling:

Interesting that the vision ports look blue from the inside but red from the outside.

You've been a busy boy, nice clean build but that's only to be expected coming from you sir if I hadn't caught up it would be in panit and finished.
Keep up the very nice work :thumb2:.

After tonites session at the bench I take my hat off to you with the building of this kit. There are some really small parts. I hope all goes well with the wet stuff for you.

Looking real nice now ian , i would have cut those supports out too - even though they were mainly covered up they would have bugged me!

Put the base colour down Vallejo 70.030 Brown Green, then I will lighten it up with Vallejo 70.913 Yellow Ochre.

Hi Ian, looking very good:thumb2::thumb2:!

Very nice Ian. There was a program on Quest last night about the manufacture of the Abrams, very interesting. Keep an eye on Freeview channel 37, they'll probably repeat it a few dozen times.
