Well, I was hoping to have these finished much sooner, but life got in the way a lot. At least I got them done before June ended!
Here they are, three Abrams and a Paladin.
Revell 1/72 scale US Army M-109 Paladin, Vietnam:
Flyhawk 1/72 scale US Army M-1A2 Abrams SEP tank:
Flyhawk 1/72 scale US Army M-1A2 Abrams SEP tank with Mine Plow:
Tiger Models 1/72 scale M-1A2 Abrams SEP TUSK I:
And that's all for now. Thanks all for looking in, comments are most welcome.

Re: The Duke Finishes Four Armor in June
Wow! Those are sharp looking builds, Mark!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Re: The Duke Finishes Four Armor in June
Nice work Mark! One more Abrams in that batch and you would have a full platoon!

Re: The Duke Finishes Four Armor in June
Thanks guys! I'm thrilled to see your replies!
Tojo, Flyhawk does do some outstanding little tank kits. I have to say that I like the Tiger Models system of mounting the tracks better though. Overall, these new companies are a very far cry above the ancient companies with the stiff vinyl tracks of old!
Carlos; if I had another kit of a different version of the Abrams I would surely have built it. As it is; with all the other Abrams I built in the past, I have at least two platoons already with these three.
Thanks to all for the awesome compliments!

Re: The Duke Finishes Four Armor in June
Nice trio! I did some 1/72 armor years ago and for some reason I think they look so cool in that scale. But all those tiny road wheels :0
Thanks,

Re: The Duke Finishes Four Armor in June
Thanks John! I'm quite used to all the "tiny" roadwheels. It's the even more tiny indie links that sometimes get to me!
I also like the look of all this small scale armor in this scale.
Thanks Mike!
