In order to get my flow back I threw aside all running projects and opened up a box with a previously started kit; Trumpeters Abrams. It ended up in there due to inaccuracies and the plastic that will not glue… untill I got my hands on an incomplete Dragon Abrams. Its hull was missing.
So I will mix the 2 together and hopefully end up with something resembling this:
The Trumpeter tracks, allthough more accurate then Dragon’s, are a nightmare to glue! I sloshed quite some Tamiya glue onto them, just to get them to stay together! Contacta would not hold.
The wheels are Dragon’s, so no Trumpeter polycaps, the turret is more accurate too as is the gunassembly. The tube itself is slightly smaller then Trumpeter’s.
It actually is just clicked in place, because I was curious on how it would be carried in real life. The CLAMS box will end up on a USMC M60A1 eventually.
I am not even sure if I am going to use the dozerblade, since that was cause the Abrams to lean much lower on the front end.
Well there you go! I’ve got umpteen pics of plow and roller tanks, having said that most of them are from the front so it’s hard to say what’s at the back. Thanks for the pics! Did they work?
