So there was a proposal to up gun the Abrams in the late 70s, add an auto loader, and change the drive train to a diesel. There are a number of images and drawings floating around the web and I decided to build one. So behold, my take on [...]
I had the modelcollect 1:72 E-75 and wanted to upgun it to 128mm based on images I'd seen online. I found a barrel on ebay and got to work in Fusion 3D to make a new Turret. I printed the turret via Shapeways and bashed some of the [...]

Out of the box. Did the canopy with decal strips that I had sprayed to match the rest of the plane. Painted with Floquil Concrete for the IJN grey-green.
Done several years ago on Corel Draw
