@18bravo I dont know if I can get the video. But I saw one of a Russian sniper with his eye right up on the scope and was begging for him to pull the trigger.

Iāve seen enough dudes at the range do it. And every day I save someoneās thumb who is gripping their semi-auto incorrectly, including today.

Has anybody noticed that most of the 125mm gun armed tank types seen in photos (T-64, T-72, T-80, T-90) do not look to have the thermal shrouds on the gun tube? Unlike pretty much every kit that is out there of these tanks. It looks like the thermal shroud gun tubes are the distinct minority in photos.

Well one thing is for sure, Russia isnāt going to come out of it looking good, iām willing to bet Ukraine fares better.
Perhaps āPresidentā Putrid should of thought of that before he decided to begin his three day āSpecial Military Operationā?

Yup, maybe the ammo is the same vintage ā¦
They seem to be more concerned with who can design the best looking patch for every single unit or even sub unit ā¦ some one is making a fortune out of that lol

Interesting point, Johnny. Sometimes it is surprising how reality is very different from modelling āconventionsā.

Itās staring you right in the face in this photo, but putting silver on an AFV model is the kiss of death at contestsā¦

Yep.
The metal in track links can be polished to a mirror shine inches
away from a rusty area on the very same track link.

I dont Know if anyone knows of this i read this on some defense web page that the Abrams thay Ukraine is getting will be M1A1 insteast of M1A2 in order to speed up delivery
Been some posts on here about it. I think waiting til HP posts some in country photo is the best before modeling a UA Abrams. There seems to be a good chance the word will change again before one shows up.

By the way, I have to wait for my parents to do the check for my turret parts. T2M took some times to answer.
