Adding weathering and accessories

Soon after repainting my Tokyo Marui Abrams, I decided it would look more realistic with a bit of weathering. I envisioned the Abrams operating in a forest or grassy area, such as Germany etc. Research indicated that unless the Abrams has traveled through heavy mud, weathering is limited to the running gear. Dust from traveling cross-country is prevalent, and this often rides up the sides, and rear of the tank.

The turret needs to be rotated to the left to remove its frequency crystal

The circular marks resulted from the turret frequency crystal scraping the rear hull top
