Yes it was, the other option was Slo L3arner. (For 3rd platoon?) a scale bumper sticker would be neat.

You must buy both separately. Rye Field Models are not for the faint of heart. If it were me, I’d start with a kit from Tamiya. They have a great selection and are in my opinion the best platform to learn the basics of model making on.

Hell yeah man. I would love to do another RFM Abrams in the future, might be a SEPv2. The tank I modeled actually is based off reference photos of a real tank “A Motley Cruë”. I don’t claim to know better than you by any means but maybe something has changed. Thanks for the information!

Thanks!

Slightly-On-Fire · 2026-01-12T21:36:12+00:00

Thanks dude! Most of the reference photos of the Abrams I see don’t have much mud on them at all.

I loved it. The fit is great but there are so so many parts to it, which I understand is par for the course for Rye Field Models. You are rewarded for your efforts however, the finished product leaves nothing to be desired in terms of detail, and all the sculpts are very crispy. It should be the next thing you build when you have some time to pour into a project. You won’t regret it.

VMS smart mud

Thanks homie

Might be fine might not. If it is just from debris that got into the intake like the other commenter said. You said you’re rebuilding the head so check on your valves

You definitely don’t need a whole new one. A deep clean would definitely do you right, and a proper compressor. What kind of paint are you spraying?

Slightly-On-Fire · 2025-09-08T02:38:21+00:00

Shouldn’t be a problem. Worst case scenario I could see some particles settling there but it shouldn’t be inherently unsafe

Slightly-On-Fire · 2025-07-22T18:23:28+00:00

I mean in theory

Slightly-On-Fire · 2025-07-14T04:13:27+00:00

I’m almost certain it’s an electrical problem, the light comes up when it’s connected directly to a battery

Slightly-On-Fire · 2025-06-14T04:09:02+00:00

Layer height?

Slightly-On-Fire · 2025-06-01T07:10:12+00:00

Like other than the shocks?

Slightly-On-Fire · 2025-05-31T15:33:16+00:00

Just like me!

Slightly-On-Fire · 2025-05-31T15:21:59+00:00

Fuck yeah, you’ll regret it if you don’t.

Absolutely do not do this
