Assault Breacher Vehicle - reference photos

Hi! I rediscovered my interest in modeling a year ago, after a break of about 35 years. I’m currently working on a Rye Field Model RM-5011 M1 Assault Breacher Vehicle in 1:35 scale. It’s almost finished, but I decided to add some detail. Unfortunately, I don’t have any official ABV reference photos. I did some detailing by looking through some official photos and videos from the internet. Does anyone have reference photos of this vehicle that show more detail? Below are a few photos of my ABV.

Very nice. I have not one, but two walkarounds, at Fort Hood and Camp Casey.

Tankograd, thanks for recommending this book! I’ve heard great things about it. Sadly, I can’t get it here in Poland, and international shipping costs as much as the book itself — it’s like paying for two copies. :worried:

Big thanks to 18bravo — his reference photos of modern vehicles (and plenty more) are just amazing. I’ve just received over 500 high-res shots of the ABV M1150 from him, covering every last detail. I’m seriously impressed — these will be a huge help when it comes to detailing my model.

I recommend him!
