Thanks @Neuling. When I started this, I was afraid it would end up as just another Abrams.

I agree with neuling, that's not only "another abrams"!
A really well done paint job with nice weathering.
The way you depicted the dust on the nato camo gives it something special- inspiring work!

I love the interior. ditto Dietmar. with everything considered, if I had to buy a regular M1A2 kit with resin engine and turret interior combined, they will cost more than the price of this kit.

Album info

The kit provides you with an incredible detail interior for the turret, driver, engine bay, and the power pack itself. I felt that I was making 3x kits! One of my longest-running projects, I had to tackle each component as if they were model kits in their own right. Overall the experience building this RFM was extremely satisfying. The parts build well and are solid, RFM did a great job at recreating the surface details. The only major upgrade that I did was to super detail the power pack with brass wiring, tubes, and styrene oplate.
