1/18 BBI Abrams with Mine Plow?

Post by aferguson » Thu Jan 18, 2024 9:54 pm

what is this? Is this a bbi Abrams with an elaborate custom? Some of the detailing looks cheap, ie stickers for serial numbers and us flag, cheap looking plastic aerial. But other parts look very intricate. Seller's description is not of much help.

Nearest I can tell it’s suppose to be an M1150 Assault Breacher Vehicle (ABV). Kind of a loose interpretation.

I think the base tank is the Bravo Team Abrams, not the BBI. It's a strange custom......very elaborate in some areas and very simplistic in others. Looks pretty cool though.

I thought at first it might be some under scale GI Joe, Power Team or some such tank but I'm pretty sure it's 1/18 now.

Yah, it's built on the old Unimax Bravo Team version...the giveaway is the underside & the tracks, they're distinct from the BBI releases...

Obviously it's not super-accurate, but it's pretty nifty nonetheless...and the price is a steal, can't say I'm not tempted... :)

The guy selling it has a video showing how he customized it:

yeah the price is good, especially given that it's 'best offer' I'm surprised it hasn't sold yet. I hope the seller can pack it well.....it looks pretty fragile.
