Dear all!
Found this awesome picture online showing a M1A2 with both TUSK and TROPHY. Probably a test bed or for promoting TROPHY. Nevertheless, a beast!
This is my interpretation in 1/35. There are some inaccuracies and things that could have been done better. The warning sign on TROPHY is not correct, but that’s what I had available. The base is RFM with some parts from Academy and the occasional scratch building. The CROW is from Blast Models. Overall I’m quite happy with the result. The pictures taken outdoors were a bit overexposed. Thanks for stopping by!

Great work!
What color is that, or how did you mix it, please?
You’re in Sweden, yes? I’m thinking of getting some of the Blast Models kit for a project. US delivery might be interesting these days.

Thanks! 
The light does not give it justice, it is a little lighter (brighter?) than the pictures indicate.
First, Ammo MIG Gray primer. I then used MRP Desert Tan (FS 33446) as base. Then Tamiya XF-55 Deck Tan and XF-78 Wooden Deck Tan for different highlights. And finally highly diluted Ammo MIG 072 Dust for that dusty touch.

Very nice. The initial pic is a test vehicle at the National Training Center (NTC) in the California desert.

Wow, very nice paint job, weathering, and build. It looks flawless. The details and subtle color transitions and shading really make your model pop out.
