The model is scaled to a tread width of 2 studs. All other proportions are based on that dimension. This lead to a 11 stud-wide body, which is done with many overlapping plates and bricks to ensure proper stability.
I tried to include all the distinctive details and subsystems like bustle rack gear, engine air intake, battery pack, viewers, antennas etc.
I chose the M1A2 subtype due to the commander's indepentend thermal viewer (CITV), since I always found that extra viewer on the turret an intersting detail, but disliked the bulkier addons like TUSK or SLAT armor. Of course you can always customize to another variant if you like ;)
Unfortunately the space for the tracks is a bit too tight, so the tracks do not run very well, or merely at all. Therefore this model should be considered a sophisticated display set, rather than a play set.
