Hey, great video! What is your favorite primer? I saw that you used Ammo One Shot Primer in the past - are you still satisfied with it? Unfortunately, the last one I bought is practically impossible to paint with. It clogs the airbrush very quickly and is incredibly difficult to clean off.

Nice. It’s an older M1-A1HA without the APU unit at rear of turret bustle. But nice job and like the anti skid coating you made. Looks like a Tamiya kit.

Nice paint scheme. Thank you for supporting Ukrainian refugees.

I live near the plant they'll be "retrofitted" at, a few thing's I'd like to point out for those who only came here BECAUSE of Ukraine 1. The Abrams's will lose the depleted uranium armor, and will get a lesser, but still good tungsten based armor. 2. They'll lose ALOT of there current tech to not only simplify it, but also prevent the tech from getting into our enemies hands 3. They'll be in Ukraine next year. Don't confuse ANY train with tanks on them for Ukraine bound, as they're likely headed to maintenance in Ohio, or storage.
