Team Yankee - ITV Section

Having a couple of spare hull tops and loads of components I have looked at options for the M901 ITV.

The top one is straight out of the box.  It is there as a guide for what else needs/could be done.

The lower one is in the stowed for travel position.  I have also repositioned the antenna mount from the front right to the rear part of the hull.  The side plates are included because I have seen them on the 3-Colour drawings of the M901 and change the hull top from a standard M113.  What I also need to find is the reload sequence as I might want to have the top hatch open/crewed on future versions.

Added some stowage and test mounted it on a M113A3 hull that I had lying around to check how it looks.  I have also now added the M60 MG to the commanders hatch

Team Yankee - M1 and M1 IPM1s

In the spares box were four M1 abrams.  I have made 3 M1s and one as a IPM1.  I will add another IPM1 later this month.  I also have a couple of M113 hulls left over which I will press into service for the VADS and ITV variants as well as normal troop tracks.

The initial build was two plain M1s. The later models had additional stowage added.  They are all finished in in VJ Dark Green FS 34079 which equates to Forest Green.  I have faded the base coat with some Dark Yellow but worried these are a bit flat. So looking for ideas to brighten these up a tad
