M1A2 SEP V3 (Australian)

G’day Team, been a while, but happy to say my Aussie M1A2 SEP V3 is almost ready for sale.
It’s been 16 years since I did an Abrams, so about time I got back into it.
This 3D printed update/conversion is for the RFM #5104 kit.
It covers the changes Australia has made to our version of the V3 from arrival, until todays date.
It will also cover a lot of the parts for the Polish V3 and some parts for the US version.
I will post up more images once the build is done.

Cheers Jason

Number 2 son out playing with the Aussies at the moment, who got their best toys out for the occasion


And surely an Aussie boxer cannot be too far away. No, not Jeff Fenech, Kostya Tszyu, Lionel Rose, or Daniel Geale, this Aussie Boxer:

It looks lovely. I’m wondering if it will fit the Voiio kit.

Once it’s released (finding a couple of very small issues), you can email me. All of that will be in the announcement including PayPal ect.

No sorry. Too many issues with the Voiio versions.

any plans for Austrailian SEP V 3 decals?

What kind of issues? Voiio looks bang on the money to me, but it’s a US version, and lots of details are molded in place, unlike Rye Field.

Hello Jason,
I have the Academy, sorry it’s not RFM, M1A2. It is what I could afford. I would be interested in the parts that would pertain to the Polish M1A2 Sep 3. I know little about Abrams subtleties. I plan to build mine as a Polish M1A2. I have an Academy Polish K2 to go with it.

Would you think of doing a Combat Dozer Blade for the M1A2’s? Not sure if the Poles have any fitted but sure would look grand on one.

Best,

Walter

I’ve been tracking progress with this on your FB page. From memory, this is the only update set now, isn’t it?

Cheers mate

No, the Lance turret on a Boxer is not the same as the Puma turret. For one, Lance has two occupants.

Yes mate. I didn’t really see the need for a “shake and bake” kit. It’s not what I do.
At the time, it looked like it was going to be an easy kit. But no.
But as usual, if more info comes to light or we add something new, the kit will be updated as needed.

Hey Buddy. No idea if it will fit Academy.
A blade might be on the cards at some stage.

The moulded on parts are the issue with that kit. Short of some tricky surgery to remove the said moulded on parts (that needed to be removed and replaced), the soft detail on some parts, missing parts, and oversized parts, it just wasn’t a good kit for this job.

Not from me. I don’t have the printers anymore.
