Hi McSpuds, I am making a M1A1 and the best way forward for any person
starting out making a 1/6 is to buy a kit say 1/32 and scale up. 1/32
to 1/6 times measurement by 1.58. mine is 52" long.

Hi Marcus,
i'm building a M1A1 Abrams from 1/4 ply and so far so good although
the turret on these monsters is small therefore the space is going to
be tight for the marker to fit so i have had to make the sides of the
turret higher.

As I am sure you all know the M1A1 has restricted turret space, I have
compensated a little while still trying to keep to 1/6 scale,
increasing the turret side panels by a extra 2" in height which then
has the effect of reducing the width of the top panel whilst staying
with the correct angle - not

i will follow your pics with great interest, you cut and shut assembly

to the height.

sparked my interest in tank building and battles, also a Phil (Philip Downs)

Cheers for heads up Cobra, all details so far are well and truly stuck or
