Dragon 1/72 M1A1 AIM **Ukrainian army** by Gültekin Kılıç

 




Hello friends,

Today we have a contribution from a new guest. Gültekin Kılıç is sharing an Abrams used by the Ukrainian army. 

Welcome to "miniafv" Gültekin...

Erhan...

I used Dragon's new M1A1 kit. It was a very nice and detailed kit. For the ERAs, I used two packs of Royal Model 1/72 ERA sets. I used approximately 260-70 ERA blocks in this model.

Some of the weathering I did disappeared during varnishing, and the visible weathering and details aren't very clear in the photos.

Trumpeter 1/72 M1A1 with Mine Clearing Blade System (by Kerem Özkır)







Hello dear modeler,

last month (October) there was an Abrams campaign organized by Miniafv team members. We published 3 Abrams. We were going to continue but we had a short technical problem. Everything's okay now. We can continue :)

The fourth Abrams is from Kerem Özkır. Kerem made some additions to 4D printing. The most striking of these are our little friends. Birds and cats. Pay attention to the last frame.

Thanks for sharing Kerem...

Trumpeter M1A1 Abrams is a nice kit with no problems during assembly. I wanted to make a non-action scenario. A daily life of soldiers having fun with cats.

Figures, accessories and animals are 3D print.
Pepsi box is paper print.
Hesco barriers are resin cast.
Happy modelling, Kerem...

Dragon 1/72 M1A1 Abrams (by Şerif Sadık)




 

Hello,

October is a special month... In the summer, miniafv team members organized an Abrams campaign. This month, we will share our members' Abrams campaign models.

The third model of the campaign belongs to Şerif Sadık. Dragon's M1A1 Abrams kit. And again somewhere in the Middle East..

A very good result for this kit, congratulations Şerif..

Hello dear modeler,

I am here with my model that I made to contribute to the M1 Abrams group build, which was initiated among miniafv team members in the past period. First of all, I would like to thank our valuable member Burak Özdil for gifting the kit. Not only the kit, it was a very kind thought to send the decals of the Revell kit instead of the faulty decals of the Dragon kit. Thanks Burak sensei :)

The general construction process of the kit was easy, I just wanted to replace the detail-less rear basket with 3d printing. I thought it wouldn't hurt to print a little stowage while the printer was involved. Then the model was painted with vallejo and ammo paints. I thought that there should be a vignette in order to be a model worthy of the miniafv group build and I tried to reveal the vignette with details added with 3d prints. I had a lot of fun making this model, I hope you will like it too.

Have fun.
