Got a little bit of work done on the kit last night but mainly I worked on the plow. I am taking the plow from the Tamiya kit that I have and installing it on this kit.

This thing is going to kick some A!! 8) All you need now is the M151 RWS from AFV club on top of the turret! ;D

Okay spent probably four to five hours today and this is what I got done, not a lot. The photo etch and tubing in the front was intense. That and the instructions kind of suck. I mean they put so much into the molding and the parts are so great you would think they would give you decent instructions but I found myself having to test fit and figure out on my own how things went together. Its not that bad I just didnt expect that, this is my first Dragon kit. So heres the progress.

Hey LgB82

Here is a quick snap of the M151RWS on an early TUSK Abrams



A couple of things to know. This configuration never saw service, or wide spread service...But man it looks BAD A$$. 8) As you can see this is the TUSK "MK1" setup and Lastly note the SLAT Armor at the rear.

Not to add to and to an already huge kit and a compressed building schedule...BUT...his also would be a Kool addition too. Voyager Models has this listed on their web site. Follow this LINK:

So by adding the RWS would more or less make it into a "What-If" Kind of thing. But since your adding the plow you might be there already. I would think having a TUSK Kit plus a Plow would overload the weight Capacity of the Abrams, But I'm NOT an expert so I'm not sure. :-\

Just some food for thought....Have a blast MAN!! ;D

WOW!!! This is intense. I'm not sure what I was thinking when I decided to put every upgrade there is for this tank on it. Bending all this photo etch has been tedious. This right here is about 2 hours to bend up the replacement piece and the other one against the armor. Maybe June 30 2013 is more realistic, lol. Im still optimistic that I will finish but we'll see. Thanks for looking.
