This is my version of the Hasegawa 1/72 M1 Abrams. I have given it a fair bit of conversion to try and bump it from an M1 up to an M1A2, its not perfect but is good enough for my purposes. This is part of my Battlefield 2 project I am working on at the mo.

Here is my WZ551 from S&S models. This is for my Battlefield 2 project and so is painted in PLA colours and markings as it is seen in the game. The only addition I have made to the kit is the HJ-8 anti tank rocket launcher on the side of the turret, which is scratchbuilt.
