Very nice work on the shading! A lot of modelers would stop there and be perfectly happy with their results...but that's not the MSC way  |

Great work so far. But an Abrams looks so bare without any stowage! 😉🤨

Excellent foundation work on those skirts Matt. You're right about the Tamiya kits going together nicely. Pretty much just drop the box on the floor and all the parts just fall together. lol.
Definitely looking forward to more out of this one.

Value Gear makes some 1/48 stowage sets that might work for you. 😉

Great to have you aboard brother. |

Small update. Still not 100% done, have to make a tarp for the stowage and finish weathering the M2 as well as adding a few of the kit decals. This one was a fun little kit, great way to cut my teeth on weathering as I prep to finish the 1/35 scale Abrams and move on to the SA-22 Pantsir and the SA-15b I have going as well. All comments, critiques are welcome. Matt  Untitled by matt pohlman, on Flickr  Untitled by matt pohlman, on Flickr  Untitled by matt pohlman, on Flickr |

Glad it came out great! I only heard good things about Tamiya 1/48 armor kits and I am about to start my first ever this weekend and it will be a Humvee. I look forward to see you bring it across the finish line!

Looks real good! You only have a few more items to add before you can call this one finished!
