Thanks guys! You are all very kind.
Gerry, every now and then you just need to lay around.

Thanks Terry! That means a lot to me coming from a master like you. I can only hope my Abrams turns out as well.

Okay, this week I made excellent progress on my M1A2 Abrams SEP TUSK II for this campaign. I assembled the tracks, painted them and weathered them:
These looked great on the model:
Then, while talking long distance to a friend in Miami, I added all the tiny clear parts to the TUSK kit and the periscopes on the hatches before I started to add everything to the turret. Here's the first of the TUSK kit to be installed along with several other detail pieces:
After finishing the rest of the turret assembly, I added the side skirts to the main hull:
Finally, I got the whole thing assembled! All that this needs now is a dullcoat and weathering:
All dullcoat and weathering done as shown below.
Now I have successfully completed two models for this campaign, the T-54B MBT:
and the M1A2 Abrams SEP TUSK II:
I feel that now I have earned my ribbon and I look forward to seeing it added to my collection. Do we have a completion Thread for this campaign yet?
Thanks for looking in, comments are welcome.
