MIA1HA Abrams (something a little different)


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone

I have built Trumpeter's USMC M1A1HA Abrams to depict two (2) different vehicles. The first one is Platoon Commander, 2nd Platoon, C Company, 2nd Marine Battalion, 1st Marine Division. This tank operated in Bagdad as part of OIF. For this one I used Echelon Decals (ammo box decals from ACM). The second one has been dressed in NATO camo scheme. The smoke dischargers were the spares from the Dragon M1A2 SEP kit (my next project) and stowage items were from my spares box. I have recently ordered a stowage set so I can add few more items.

This is my first real attempt at using paint chipping techniques, so constructive criticism is most welcome...

Thanks for looking..

That is a really cool effect. A nice way to show two tanks in one. One issue with it though. The sand side should have the USMC 8-tube smoke grenade launcher, not the Army 6-shot launcher.

USMC style
