Guys,
Just received some early photos of the repaints and mods of four Figarti Abrams Tanks into Aussie camo version.
I am sure they will interest Currahee Chris who I know was a big Modern Armour fan.
Many thanks to Brad for posting the photos.
Cheers Howard

Nice one Howard!

I was fortunate enough to be shown inside the turret (and given a very good tour by one of the crewies) of one last year (sat in loaders seat) courtesy of the School of Armour.

No pictures though - its classified! LOL

I'd love a model of one though.

Guys,
Thanks for your comments. If any of you want one, especially you Aussie collectors, please email Peter Wang at Figarti. I am looking forward to putting the four tanks of "1" Troop, "B" Squadron, 1st Armoured Regiment onto the Dio for a photo shoot.
Cheers Howard

Wayne mate,
I never thought the MPs would let you through the front gates at PUCKA. I have a couple of mates who were in the Regiment when they had Leopards. Speaking of Leopards, Rick if your reading this an Aussie Leopard Mk1 who be very nice in Aussie camo. I am up for a Troop.^&grin

Wonderful additions that I know hold a very cherished place in your collection. It will be a truly epic rumble should you and I ever cross paths and let our Abrams run free!! {sm4}

The only thing those boys are missing is some mechanized infantry support- better get some Aussie Bradleys....oh wait....you can't!! {sm5} Better get on board and help me lobby Figarti my friend!!

Very Best Regards- and Late Happy Birthday

Very nice Howard, i bet the abram's boys at the army barracks here in Darwin would like to have one! You are rapidily talking me into ordering one from Rick!

I thought I saw an article in the Australian Army newspaper that the 1st Armoured Regiment Abrams tanks were all getting bar armour as extra protection?
