Greg,
Some great additions.

 

[BigGreg]

Thanks Paul l'm not a super detailer like you are but i'm trying i found out a site with TONS of pictures of the Abrams... soooo much to do..

On my 1 72 Flyhawk Abrams they left off the two cable hoops on the back as well. Its strange it happened on the 1 35 as well. Nice to see you added them. Did they supply the smoke grenades for the launchers or do you have to add them as well?

 

[BigGreg]

Well Steve there are many thing that are missing on some kits... so I'm trying to correct this on the tamiya kit... i found a SUPER cool and complete website with some great pictures

 

[Steve Jones]

If you get stuck I have shed loads of photos also

 

[BigGreg]

Thank you Steve really appriciate...i have a doubt on the color of the lenses of the Ipo/peri scopes... i saw pictures of the Abrams M1A2 but for some reasons i cannot see them on the M1A1....

 

[Steve Jones]

It depends on which way you are looking at them and which way the light is shining on them. They vary in colour from red to purple to orange to blue. I know Mick looked into using tape on his Israeli tank build. I just did a mixture of colours as it didnt matter so much on a smaller scale.

This might help as well HERE

 

[BigGreg]

Thanks Steve the first picture is M1A1 the 2 others are M1A2... so purple-blue and orange thank you very much Steve

 

[Steve Jones]

Excuse me Greg .
Steve is that you and Mr T on holiday at Bognor in the late 1990s ?
Do these scope glasses colours differ with light defusion, as the spectrum changes ?

 

[BigGreg]

Thank you John i thought about the light diffusion and it's should be that...

 

[BigGreg]

And here is today's placing de 120mm cannon...it went super smooth..and thank you Steve for all you help and pictures

Greg,
Just joined in Greg, sorry I was late, chasing a money spider of my keyboard.
This is going to be interesting. Ref the lenses, you can buy those direct and work a treat, I will have a search throug my stuff and find the ones you need if not too late.
Cheers, Mike.
Check out AFV Club for the lens.
