Ukrainian M1A1 SA with ARAT build log

Dear all,

Inspired by pictures of the M1A1 in Ukrainian service, I decided to build an M1A1 with ARAT from RFM’s kit, with additional ERA blocks, a steel cage for increased protection against UAVs, drones, etc., and some other modifications. Based on my build speed, it will probably take about 50 years to complete. The challenge of finding time between work and family life that aligns with my build mojo adds to this. Regardless, I’ll give it a go!

I have to admit, that looks mean. All the extra ERA, the front skirt, all the “stuff” piled on, I love the look. I will be following.

That first photo of the front on view is awesome! I could not imagine being in a fire fight and seeing that beast barreling down on you.
