Evening all, a bit more done this evening - I have constructed the rear cages including some bling for their bottoms, delicate plastic work but not as much so due to the scale. OC.

Evening all, so I made up for lost time today and got a bit more done adding more details to the turret - side rails rear cover etc. OC.

Morning all, no work progress as life required my attention (well tv actually lol) but I have been doing some research into the visual differences between the base M1 and the latest M1A1/ M1A2, and apart from the additional fittings the Two main Turret changes are - the front turret faces received some extra armour of around 150mm thick - extending the physical length of the turret, and the rear edge of the turret was sloped in the M1 and straight/flat in the M1A1/M1A2. Here are a few diagrams off the net that show the difference - OC.

Thank you kindly Gary. OC.

I did a bit of research regarding the European temp colour the M1 now wears, and my understanding is the single colour Green colour is called Bronze Green, its painted in Europe then pressure washed off when back in the States. This is a pic of am M1 in Europe with the Bronze Green paint applied and the Vallejo Acrylic paint. Pics of the net. OC.

Thank you so much, they were/are fiddly but as you say so worth it. OC.

Beacuse of the delicate nature of the self sticky viewing block pieces, I will not be masking them in case they pull the coloured papers off, I will be hand painting the cupula assembly/FLIR/CITV and drivers hatch as they will be easier to hand paint and put on when the main turret is sprayed. OC.

Kevin (just showing my ignorance with card building) would it help to strengthen the card during the build to brush over the parts/sections etc some watered down PVA - just wondered if that would strengthen the card? OC.

Evening all, more progress starting to fit the vision blocks in the different areas on the roof, in the super detail set are self sticky block covers that are translucent and look excellent if a little fiddly to fit. OC.

Evening all, some more progress today carrying on with the turret details, when I brought it I also got the Update sets for it, so I have been diving into them improving some of the details - plenty of resin and PE bits and pieces going on. OC.
