Thought I would post a few pictures of my M1. Decided to make the early version of the M1 with the 105mm gun. Planning to fight some late 70's to early 880's battles.

Early '80s if you're fielding that, since I read they were issued in 1982.

Love the dirtied up lower glacis, and the road wheels. They look superb!

Seems to me a bit more drybrushing with a dust color along the vehicle's edges, and/or hull and turret might enhance the look a little more.

Absolutely love that grass mat it is sitting on, along with the weeds too. That looks real.

I meant early 80's. Work for General Dynamics on designs for the Egyptian model with the diesel engine. The picture doesn't show the side armor with the dust on it. Needed more light.

Yes looking good – I particularly think you have the shade of US forest green spot on. I tried for Summer Verdant MERDC:

They both look Great.

But have to say, 4-1-7, your model is a perfect example (along w love of WW II armor) why Im sticking to that period. Simple 'one color' paint job (for the most part).

I cant begin to imagine being able to do that pattern of camo, and the 'black linning' good lord.
