Wonderfully detailed turret Ian, nice work on the chassis too.
Found some info on the base coat here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dG4CLaBMfVU
They didn’t say anything about any model colours though…

Now already for painting.

Nice clean building Ian Definitely looks better with the supports removed.

Interesting that the vision ports look blue from the inside but red from the outside.

You've been a busy boy, nice clean build but that's only to be expected coming from you sir if I hadn't caught up it would be in panit and finished.
Keep up the very nice work .

After tonites session at the bench I take my hat off to you with the building of this kit. There are some really small parts. I hope all goes well with the wet stuff for you.

Looking real nice now ian , i would have cut those supports out too - even though they were mainly covered up they would have bugged me!

 

[papa 695]

Put the base colour down Vallejo 70.030 Brown Green, then I will lighten it up with Vallejo 70.913 Yellow Ochre.

Ian,
Top work very nicely done.

Hi Ian, looking very good!

 

[stillp]

Very nice Ian. There was a program on Quest last night about the manufacture of the Abrams, very interesting. Keep an eye on Freeview channel 37, they'll probably repeat it a few dozen times.
