Las Cruces, New Mexico
Andrew backdated Dragon’s 1/35 scale M1 AIM to an early M1A1 with Trumpeter T156 tracks, an RB 120mm M256 barrel, and AFV Club anti-reflection coating on the optics. He added customized decals to represent an Abrams from the 4th Battalion, 2-35 Armor Regiment, 4th Infantry Division in the 1990s. “The tank was made as an Army retirement gift for a friend who was so tall that the maximum height regulations were changed after him,” Andrew says.
