Title: M1A2 Abrams
Post by: Keith on 02 July 2013, 08:32:49 AM

Currently a WIP, but not sure when I'll get the time to wrap this up  :(

Empress (formerly Imprint) M1A2 Abrams. It's big and I've found it a bit tricky to photograph something this size - I'm not the best photographer at the best of times!

If that's a crap photo, then the model must ASTOUNDING! Lovely paint job! :-* Cracking weathering!

Excellent model, very well painted.
Am very happy Empress picked up this line.
I have a few primed and that is as far as I have got.

I'm not a Moderns man at all but as it was a Keith post I new it would be good and I was not disappointed. Lovely work on a cracking model.

Lovely work. If you are going to market these along with the forthcoming marines, you might want to backdate the master to make an M1A1 ( remove the CITV sight unit).

Looking forward to seeing it finished, although to be honest there doesn't seem much to do other than the decals :)

Nice work!  I LOVE the weathering and am a huge fan of the tank!

The link is to a video of the Army's first M1A2s in action at Ft Hood.   A31 is my track, and the goofy TC with glasses is me.

Be warned, mute the sound, the accompanying musical score is REALLY bad...
