Finally done after 3 months. Brush painted M1A2 SEP V2 scale model.

Took my time with this one. And it was worth it.

I am really satisfied with how the tracks and roadwheels turned out.

The stowage adds the necessary contrast to the model.

While painting the camo took ~1 week, it was fun.

The decals were high quality. Had fun applying them especially on the tan panels (combat identification panels, CIP)

I was planning on trying new weathering techniques but still am too afraid to ruin the model. It is very easy to ruin a model with weathering, especially when there is no varnish between it and the paint.

I made the straps for jerry cans with masking tape.

One simple bottle can add great detail. Pt.1

This tank is currently fitted with exercise equipment. This close up shot shows the laser emitter.

CROWS fitted with blank firing adapter

The red might look out of place but that's how it is on real exercise equipment fitted Abrams'. And I think I did a good job replicating the red, metallic, and the black on it.

Alternated between red and blue paint to replicate periscope glint.

One simple bottle can add great detail Pt.2

Engine. Could have weathered it more but still am afraid...

Close up stowage shot.

I wish I had energy drink cartons. Well, these guys have to like coke a lot.

I didn't have decals for these bottles and I really wish I did. Still looks fine though.

I now am a proud dad of two Abrams'!

Didn't have a banana at home, I hope this is good for scale! The figure is 1/35 as well.
