Abram IFV v2

Start another one with updated armor and a trophy defense system.
havenâ€™t been able to find a clear picture of the top so Iâ€™m just kind of faking it.
Itâ€™s still kind of hard but Iâ€™m not sure what I could do with it since the Abrams is a rear engine vehicle and infantry usually exit from the back.
Any comments or suggestions are more than welcome.

Anyone know where I could find the color styrene the GHQ uses?

You have already changed the armor envelope significantly, so nothing says you can't move the engine forward OR YOU can turn the thing around, modifying th skirts.

I love it! What other pieces have you got laying around that you can create new vehicles with? Do another one!

Nash,
WOW! That is great. Does it carry as many guys as an LVTP-7? Or more?

Had to order more glue so nothing new till next week.
Maybe go back to making more ships. IDK should finish cleaning the rest of the vehicles.
Not sure but probably not too many since the engine didnâ€™t move from the back.

You could move the engine...â€œ.abracadabraâ€ .... done.
We now â€˜needâ€™ to see a platoon or each type, then a company of each!

Nashorn those are some great modifications! I really like the "new and improved AMTRACK" feel I get from your Abrams builds.

The new Panther build looks interesting, is it supposed to be some sort of weird-WW2 mod?

Nashorn, if I send you some random hulls and pieces will you make them into something cool?
