XM-1

Time for more plastic crap now!  The same box of junk which yielded the M939 trucks and dodgy HUMMWVs also contained this pair of M-1 Abrams tanks.  I think these are supposed to represent later versions but in the late 1970s world of Little Cold Wars they will be from the early production batch.  Accordingly thy are finished in overall drab green.  It's not because I couldn't be bothered painting camo....

    They do the job nicely Tim. Surely the Russians will feel a bit under gunned now? I recommend a dose of HINDs to aleviate that.

    Cheers,

    Pete.

    Needs a few Chieftains I think.

    But those Yankee buses aren't too bad either.

    Very NICE!

    I was learning to play WRG Modern at school when the 'XM1' was all the rage, even with the quaint little 105.

    Ahhh...giving away my age ;)

    Rumour has it that the comrades in Forbodian State Tractor Factory No.51 have been working some longer shifts of late. I wonder what they're up to....

    Chieftains I have. And they are of course proper old Dinky toys - so only slightly lighter than real Chieftains....

    They look a bit too sleek and modern to me.
