When Aussie
AIMs were first revealed to the world, it wasn't easy to obtain
all the necessary data to produce a respectable set of markings
for this version of the venerable Abrams. So we had to sit on the
idea until more data (in terms of images) could be made available.
Well, all that waiting has paid off. Instead of just two specific
full-vehicle markings that we could only come up with initially,
now modellers are treated to a full array of generics covering 2
font types for vehicle names and 2 for battleboard numbers. To add
even greater authenticity to your models, we've even tried to cover
all sorts of digit styles to make up that illusive mish-mash set
of vehicle registration numbers that the Aussie AIMs are famous
of. And no, the digit styles are not pull out from thin air, but
pain-stakingly captured from all available images that we could
lay our hands on. Apart from vehicle names, the use of various digit
styles is what gives each AIM a unique identify of its own
Each set is
enough for two complete models, and possible even more if one is
able to source out extra markings outside the set. The set provides
coverage for two specific vehicles: Coral and Cobra, but can be
used to cover any current Aussie AIMs depending on available references
in one's hands. All data plates are printed in silver and black,
and no we did not forget the all-important sand-coloured "Lift
Here >" for the black portion of the rear exhaust grills.
If you look hard enough there is even two very slight variations
of Red Roos... Have fun!
