Awesome improvement! I've got a few PP models, and in my opinion they are not really crisp in details... this might do the job! :)

Cheers

Here is some heavy armour for my Marines, an M1A1HA Abrams. The model is a somewhat converted Khurasan Miniatures M1A2 SEP Abrams.

That tank is looking really good.

Great work.

A bit of thread necromancy but I have a relevant question.

Does anyone know where the metal detailing on the M1 come from? Specifically the a it-iced countermeasures masts and what looks like a CROWS my mount.

The original author hasn't been active for a while and his blog has been deleted.

Thanks

Not sure, sorry. Could be converted from a 20mm source?

It's the CROWS kit that comes with the 15mm Khurasan Miniatures M1A2 SEP Abrams, but with a Peter Pig 50cal from their US World War 2 range, because I found the Khurasan one a bit small.
