Assembly and painting of the Rye Field 1/35 scale Abrams M1 A2 SEP V2
The M1 Abrams (/ˈeɪbrəmz/)[7] is a third-generation American main battle tank designed by Chrysler Defense (now General Dynamics Land Systems)[8] and named for General Creighton Abrams. It was officially standardized as TANK, COMBAT, FULL TRACKED, 105MM, M1 ABRAMS (NSN 2350-01-061-2445) on June 15, 1978.[citation needed] Conceived for modern armored ground warfare and now one of the heaviest tanks in service at nearly 68 short tons (62 metric tons), it introduced several modern technologies to US armored forces, including a multifuel turbine engine, sophisticated Chobham composite armor, a computer fire control system, separate ammunition storage in a blow-out compartment, and NBC protection for crew safety. Initial models of the M1 were armed with a licensed-produced 105 mm Royal Ordnance L7 gun, while later variants feature a licensed Rheinmetall 120 mm L/44.
The M1 Abrams was developed from the failure of the MBT-70 project to replace the obsolescent M60 tank. There are three main operational Abrams versions, the M1, M1A1, and M1A2, with each new iteration seeing improvements in armament, protection, and electronics. Extensive improvements have been implemented to the latest formerly designated M1A2 System Enhancement Package version 3 or SEPv3 and M1A2 SEPv4, respectively versions such as improved composite armor, better optics, digital systems and ammunition.[9]
The Abrams was to be replaced in U.S. Army service by the XM1202 Mounted Combat System, but since that project was cancelled, the Army has opted to continue maintaining and operating the M1 series for the foreseeable future by upgrading with improved optics, armor, and firepower.
The M1 Abrams entered service in 1980 and serves as the main battle tank of the United States Army and formerly of the United States Marine Corps (USMC). The export version is used by the armies of Egypt, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Poland and Iraq. The Abrams was first used in combat in the Persian Gulf War and has seen combat in both the War in Afghanistan and Iraq War under U.S. service, while Iraqi Abrams tanks have seen action in the war against Islamic State and have seen use by Saudi Arabia during the Yemeni Civil War.

Thank you.
That was excellent work sir, the paint job was perfect, like David said narration would be good, maybe not the whole video, but some would help to understand what you are doing, but still a great video.
Easy thumbs up!

Yes,they're very well made kits ,a lot of details and parts.
Very good,question:psi pressure used Bar.tks
Very nice build and video! Thinking about this model for a high school classmates son, an engineer at the Ohio plant. But I don’t know if I can do it justice. Maybe I should stick with Tamiya, my so so skills might not be as glaring with less detail.

Nicely done. Is that colorshift paint applied directly to the clear parts please? I am confused becuase the makers say to apply it on a gloss black base.

Yes its colour shift from SMS sprayed over the clear parts.I believe there is some type of polarised film you can use which looks more realistic, but I don't know where to buy it.
Currently assembling this one and I have just one question - are the wheels asymetrical on both sides? I mean the split is different at the front... Idk, just being curious :D

Hi thanks for your comments. Yes the wheels are slightly offset,
Hello everyone, I recently bought some add ons for the M1A1 Abrams kit (M1A1 Abrams Accessory Set) , from a company called Legend. It's stuff to be added on the tank, such as barrels, crates, backpacks and so on. Problem is I don't understand how to separate the items from the sprue, since the sprue is incredibly though and thick. Can anyone help me with a suggestion? Many thanks.

you generally use a hobby saw to cut off the parts from the rest of the sprue and then sand when needed.
Pretty cool build I heard there's a Sepv3 version not sure if it's for sale though

The artist is "Ashamaluev Music" and I think these are most of the track (not in order) 'Maximum' ' Victorious' ' Survived' 'Revolution' 'Greatness' 'Century' 'Valiant' and Storm'. I hope this helps you. Cheers!

Beautiful work but narration is better than music. Consider speaking to your subscribers.

No, there isn't any moving parts except the turret and gun barrel.
You did such a great job, it looks like I could just jump right on inside and go hunting! 19 Kilo all the way! 🫡
