Not the best plan lol …

I would be a bit happier crewing it with some side wall reinforcement … thats a lot of soil that could come crashing in …

I imagine being buried wouldn’t be fun but at least it wouldn’t crush…I think. There’d be a chance of getting you out.

Good modelling reference :wink:

in the hunicutt abrams book i remember some mention of a pre production abrams fully loaded with ammo and test dummies took a hit and survived fire supression system put out the fire and they drove the tank off so that being said if a pre production M1 can take a hit like that in sure a M1A1 can shrug a hit off as well

Thank you very much Frenchy!
Fortunately one of my ex-colleague do 3D printing so that’s a chance.
What kit would you guys recommend for the base? Some MiniArt maybe?

This conversion is designed for the older Tamiya T-55 kit…Don’t know if it will fit other T-55 kits… :roll_eyes:
