>>10687146This is a Tamiya A1. An ancient mold, the common Abrams sprues are dated 1983 (pic), the M1A1 ones are dated 1992. Still, it's gonna turn out better than I expected, My only real complaint is the lack of stowage accessories. All it has is like five ammo cans and two 120mm ammo tubes. Guess when they designed this kit they could only look at CONUS and USAREUR vehicles, that only have to drive ten minutes to the range, or an hour to the German border, not charge a hundred miles across a desert.
>after this it's gonna get the three-color woodland camo>WHY? This vid is the inspo:
