Old Collingwood Posted March 24, 2022 Author #81 Posted March 24, 2022 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.

Old Collingwood Posted March 24, 2022 Author #85 Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) 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.

Old Collingwood Posted March 27, 2022 Author #89 Posted March 27, 2022 (edited) 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.
