Awesome build there! Are you also going to scratchbuild the engine?

Pretty neat there, was you able to get hold of blue prints, or are you going off photos.

Unfortunately no, the interior is DML and the engine is Kirin, niether of which is accurate.
But thanks for the heads up. BTW there are more pics in my gallery.

Straight edge, I was able to get some technical drawings of it from the yahoo group M1 Abrams.

Shonen, not unless I extend the campaign until the end of next year, cuz that's probably when I'll be finished with it. :-)
