If someone who ACTUALLY served with an actual M1A1 notices something missing on a model done by any one, they shouldn't say anything?  If they didn't give a rat's ass, they wouldn't say anything!  If something is wrong, or inaccurate with any model, it should be addressed!

In my opinion--Antonia did a real service here and is getting slammed for it.  Myself--It is obvious from the first post, that the Vanishing Point M1 Abrams Tanks is CLEARLY superior to the high priced,lower quality product by DAZ.

Guys--don't get all torked up and defensive when someone who actually knows their stuff with the REAL article comes along and comments.  You MUST realize that people who are Military model collectors are amongst the most given to revelling in the ultra-fine details of Military models!

Whether something is a freebie, or something paid for does NOT enter into whether one is more accurate or not!  WHich ever is more accurate is simply more accurate because unlike fantasy or scifi models--you have replicated REALITY.  THAT is the standard of measure.

I really REALLY appreciate the hard work and dedication to the craft that ALL of the Vanishing Point crew do!  You guys make some of the MOST useful and well done models in the Poser universe.

Just remember that when dealing with duplications of reality, there are hundreds of thousands of people out there that know better than any number of modellers, and some of them actually use poser.  I know two Poser users in Iraq, and one of them IS a Tanker and loves his M1A2!

Just take it with a grain of salt. ^__^ V,,  You guys at VP kick ass, so don't worry so much!
