Question about Australian M1A2 SEP v3

Brisbane is a stone’s throw from Pucka or ASEME, surely :upside_down_face:

They’re expected onshore this month, I believe. Looking forward to the media coverage, though I reckon it’ll be a bit reduced due to tanks not being flavour of the month.

Im using AK dark tan FS32019, dark tan,faded (RC884 ,old number RC024) and flat black
just need the fridge for the bustle rack and I have this decal sheet i got for a Austrailian M1A1SA that project came to a screeching halt when I found out Australia was getting SEP V.3 Im sure some of this sheet can be put to use on my Future M1A2 SEP V.3

you definitely have the decals down. :+1:

I imagine you’ve already sourced the M1A1 AS conversion kit from Black Ops.

not yet funds are a bit tight right now but soon also need to get another RFM SEP V.3 unless i can buy the W sprue from meng whick will be cheaper that buying a entire model as I had to use some of the V.3 specific parts for my Kuwaiti M1A2K and Taiwanese (ROC) M1A2T
mainly the Crows for my M1A2T and the mud flaps for the M1A2K

so C Squadron with be the First unit to get the SEP V.3?

One more question. Will there be fuel cell in the right rear or will it be an under armor auxiliary power unit or possibly a battery unit? I can’t tell from any of the photos.

Same as the US M1A2 Sep V.3

Well School of Armour at Pucka will obviously be 1 location. The other will be much further N (not sure if OPSEC allows me to specify the specific Unit)

No.

C SQN 2/14 Light Horse REGT (QMI) may revert back to Boxers. Alternatively, some of the ‘black caps’ may follow the Abrams to their new lines

Jeez I hope you guys are throwing in some misdirection for the benefit of our only likely foe to the north (no, I think we can take the Papua New Guineans) – bad enough they know about the fridge on the back, our tank crews will be severely demoralised if the mini-bar’s hit :beer: :beer: :beer: :fire:

Commander 3 Brigade has posted publicly that 2 Cav will operate SEP v3, so I don’t think it’s a state secret.

That’s ok. He gets paid the big $ & has been given clearance to make it public knowledge.
I didn’t think it was appropriate to make comment about it in a public forum

So most likly ill need decals from either A squadron or B squadron?

Well that won’t necessarily work for you, in the context of the Unit we were discussing, since A & B SQNs are also 2/14 Light Horse Units, which use the locally built (under license) Rheinmetall Boxer. C SQN acquired M1s after Army shuffled 1 ARMD REGT assets several years back, to coloc them with other Cav/Recon Units.
You will need to look for existing School of Armour or 1 ARMD REGT decals. Or wait for Echelon (hopefully) to release a new set
