I would try the Streaking Grime. Abrams tanks don’t really get rusty.
Test and practice on something else (paint mule) first, so you don’t mess up your model.

Turret gets general grime/ dust but not much mud.

I do like that shot … classic rolling mud track with bottomless pits …
it also makes me chuckle thinking about how stinking that cam net in front the drivers cab is going to be next time you unrolled it lol

Can’t remember it but it wouldn’t have been good. Training is always the best way to learn your wagons limitations so you know for when you have to do it for real.

Bonus: you get to help train the M88 guys in pulling your wagon out of the mire!

I think they get plenty of practice in that regard, IIRC!

I was at Ft Stewart in M60 A1’s and we were driving down a dry dirt road. and suddenly we just dropped into the road. There was an underground stream that lighter wheeled vehicles were never heavy enough to break through the surface. Took the M88 and two more tanks hooked together to drag us out. Took most of the day and into the night. You could not tell the path of the stream and it turned out to follow the road about a hundred feet. We had to keep digging out the mud around the road wheels because it would pack up and start to throw track. That was a hundred feet of shoulder high trench on both sides. This photo looks just like when we dropped in.

Drivers job, got to learn haha. We had to use two Centurion ARV’s using the hull lifting eyes to get us out.
