All ready to start.

PE covers look amazing! Just one need some adjustments..

Brilliant metal barrell!

Fantastic mate, Awesome work with the p.e The barrel and turret look great.

Are you going to use the tamiya tracks?

That looks really nice! I've never built a modern tank before, but I'm interested seeing this one come together.

Cheers

Sorry guys, had too much work recently. Finally I had some time to barely finish my Abrams. Well, at least assembling

And I don't really know if I'll use tamiya tracks. I'd like to buy Friulmodel tracks, but they are quite expensive. I'll think about it on my holidays next week I hope to paint it just after holidays.

There is couple pics:

Looking very good indeed like John said the after market tracks would look great on it. But also i understand that they are not cheap, and the kit tracks painted correctly will look good.

Hope you have a great holiday also
