So I'm still playing with format so we're going to start with the finished tank video, even though this one isn't quite finished. I still have to do the armored glass in the periscopes, and then I'll add one final video once it's all installed. Also, this 1st video was shot before the name was added to the barrel, but I did add a little video at the end on dry transfers. The dry transfer video was posted previously but I wanted to get them all in one place so it's been added to the end of the paint video.

But for now, here's the log intro

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pflAm0EeFc I hope someone will gain from all this, and it should give a good idea of what it takes to make this $109 Abrams into a Killer Tank (I mean, besides another $500!!).

On the day she's finished this tank goes up for sale, so if anyone wants to make an offer ...

Also, if anyone is interested, this would be the time to add better electronics if you want to. I have an IBU2 Pro board just laying here waiting for something to do, so if someone did buy the tank I could easily deliver it with hobby grade electronics and proper sound set installed. Just food for thought. If you want a killer Abrams and don't want to build it yourself, here's your chance. All you need is a Fat Wallet.

When weather permits I'll get some outdoor video so you can see how she performs.
