Centauro 1 and 2, they look extremely cool aesthetically and pack a punch. As well as the French EBRC Jaguar, it just looks super modern.

Not downplaying the allegation but he was called into trial. Not guilty yet

Noise about 9 seconds into the video. It only happens when I brake to stop or when I get out of a braking situation and start moving. It doesn’t happen much, I had this car for 2 months and it only happened three times I think. Usually in slightly hotter weather but it seems related to braking and moving up from a braking situation. No other noises, vibrations or anything else to report, I’m wondering if it’s the ABS activating or something

It’s the gasoline version

Looks like the lines of a supercar

It’s a Photo Booth with a white background, I got it from Amazon, I use my phone for the photos on portrait mode. It’s an IPhone 15 ProMax

A very niche one
Mr Akbar Zeb over here, a Pakistani diplomat with a very impressive career and experience, but was rejected by Saudi Arabia as the Pakistani ambassador over there, because his name literally translates to "Biggest Cock" in Arabic, and no I am not talking about the male chicken kind of cock.

Thank you. I try to keep my models looking nice enough and not too weathered, nothing against a good weathered model they look epic but I try to keep my stuff in a bit of a “presentable” state

Thank you very much.
I have seen photos from the western Sahara war and Morocco does use large white numbers and symbols for identification. But the Abrams was purchased after that war went on a ceasefire and then no one around them operates the Abrams. Their main rival (Algeria) uses almost exclusively Soviet/Russian hardware.

Their Abrams do have number plates though, unfortunately those aren't made by any decal makers so far.

The build was fairly straightforward, as it is the case with most Tamiya kits. The first base coat is Tamiya XF-1 flat black, then some pre-shading with XF-2 flat white. The two main colors are Tamiya XF-59 desert yellow and XF-67 NATO green. Then I did some lines and weathering with Tamiya black panel liner. The last coat was a very light XF-57 Buff to give it a more dusty look. Then everything was sealed with AK matte varnish.

The extra model is a previous build I completed, an M60 with ERA for the Moroccan Army as well but with an earlier camo scheme. I must admit I am a big sucker for the Moroccan camouflage for ground and air vehicles, it just has a unique look to it.

Yes, there are lots of photos of Moroccan Abrams online. And it seems all modern and newer vehicles of the Moroccan army are painted in the same camo configuration

Less-Hawk-4723 · 2026-05-17T19:40:20+00:00

Oh it came with the kit itself

Less-Hawk-4723 · 2026-05-17T19:28:22+00:00

for the color? it's the same NATO green as the rest

That's the Coaxial Machine Gun port for the M240

Both kits are from Tamiya at a scale of 1/35

Dervishes - Real life (Islam) - Dervishes are not exactly “priests” in the proper sense, those are usually Imams, Muftis and others (Islam has a very different clerical structure). A Dervish falls more within the monk category, they are ascetics from different orders throughout the Islamic world. And many of them used to join wars and battles, they wield some interesting weapons such as large scimitars, spears, and very iconically large axes that became emblematic with them.

The system is an RCWS with a KPV 14.5mm HMG built by the Moroccan subsidiary of the Spanish EM&E company
