This is a 1/35 scale model (Tamiya) of an M1A1 Abrams Main Battle Tank from Desert Storm. It was the tank commanded by my best friend. Presenting the "Youth Gone Wild," Tank C-31 of the 3rd Battalion, 32 Armored Regiment of the 1st Cavalry Division.

Auxilary power unit. A generator of sorts. On later models they were moved into the center of the bustle rack.

Thanks. It was my first attempt at realistic weathering.
