Tamiya 1983 M1 Abrams Push button remote

Tom Axell
Recently completed my Tamiya 1983 Abrams M1 tank. The model is very rare as it is motorised with a turret rotation unit controlled by a hard-wired push button remote. It is modelled on a winter version in Germany in the mid 1980's. It was incredibly great fun to build. The only challenge was having to adapt tank skirts and wire them to the body with brass rods to give greater strength.
