Ryefield Models M1150 ABV build - aka "Making the best out of a bad eBay purchase"

With a caveat, as long as it’s not the Dragon Black Plague accuracy. :smiley:

The build looking great so far, Reynier.

I know a guy who knows a guy. Went to Ft. Cervezas armed with a camera and a tape measure. No promises…

Make it a six pack, maybe a fifth of bourbon. Well earned for the intel.

Word is, he’s known to drink from a pretty rare reserve stock.

Back to the build.

This is the base for the MCLIC Launcher.

Haven’t glued it in place yet, but it’s there.

Gives you an idea on how the vehicle will look.

While I was getting your P sprue ready to ship, I remembered that RFM guy who packed my M1150 box must have been pissed at his boss that day.

There were two of everything decals, PE and vinyl tubing copper wire in the box. I’m adding them to your P sprue.

Edited to add: it’s even more amazing that I remembered where I put the bag with this stuff,

More work on the MCLIC Launchers.

All it needs is the lids with the line launchers and the containers that hold the MCLIC charges, which have already been assembled and primed.

Gonna finish the turret once the parts come in from @JJohnson59 , @tanknick22 and @Arch-Stanton. In the meantime, I started working on the hull.

I want to get the lower hull ready for the dozer blade.

As last check; all three packages should arrive at my door today. I am eager to jump in and get everything completed.

As with my previous experience with Ryefield Models, they build great. Little flash to contend with. Lots of extra parts to build multiple variants of the same kit - Especially with the Abrams. Decent detail on casting marks, though a little light on the anti-slip, buy overall, it’s a great kit. This kit is very buildable, and I really enjoyed putting it together so far.

It may be too late to fix it now, but that support bar in the middle with a kink in it should go down instead of up.
