M1 AGDS conversion in 1/35 pending

According to another website, AMS Paints & Accessories of Glasgow, Scotland, is working on a conversion of this vehicle. Will be interesting to see as it was only ever a drawing board exercise, as far as I can tell.

Here some pics.

Ok, that is impressive. Thanks for posting the images.

That looks amazing!

I haven’t heard of this concept. Could you please provide more information as to the genesis of this and what AGDS means? Thanks!

It stands for Air-Ground Defense System and is from a computer game, it is not a rea Abrams version.

Ah, that explains it. Pretty cool though if it was actually real. Thanks! :ok_hand:

Looks cool, they should make the cheiftain sabre turret and the falcon turret for the fv433 abbott

It was a study performed for the US Army Armor Center in 1996. The same team designed the FMBT in 1993. So the game is a clone of work done nearly 30 years ago.

Zombie thread question:

What hull did you use for your project? Mine came with a monobloc hull and monobloc running gear. I’m looking to adapt the AGDS turret to a suitable donor, but turret ring (sic) diameter is different on my current “donor”.

TIA

I doubt he’ll answer you. That was our very own Tool Man. A dude with such a nasty disposition he managed to get himself banned from a model building site. Under several different names, no less. Tony Denazo, White4, et al.
I almost got in trouble for posting a photo of his hovel once, but I could sure post some of his neighbors’ hovels.
