My projects (GKABS)

[+GKABS]

Thanks to guuruu for testing my Fragata Niteroi F-40 Frigate and for fixing the Exocet-40MMB2 missile data.  I have updated all the models with the new update.

Thank you @guuruu for the fix 

 

 

 

[+Stratos]

Everything should be approved with the update.

[+Veltro2k]

Welcome back  

[+GKABS]

Thanks, it's good to be back. 

[+Stratos]

Hope you enjoyed your holidays!

[+GKABS]

Thanks, Stratos, yes I really enjoyed it, I have been locked in Kuwait for almost 2 years.  It was nice to change the scenery from just going back and forth between home and work.

Okay started working on the T-84 first step from many to come.

 

[+GKABS]

Update.

 

[+GKABS]

I worked today for about 6 hours, therefore, I think it's coming along nicely. I still need more work and tweaking to get it completed.

Yes, you are correct, but they can be dropped before engaging the enemies, and that is the Russian tactics if I am not mistaken.  also, I made them for the static model. :)

This is one of the videos of the t-72 Russian tank in life exercise with extra fuel tanks while they are firing the main gun.

What I'm trying to explain to you, nowhere in the war in the former Yugoslavia, I've never seen an M-84 or a T-55 in action with those tanks. The reason is simple, they are not armored and that is why they easily catch fire, that is, they explode.

I totally agree with you. I was just referring to the Russian doctrine for tank battle.

About 80% completed, I  need to add some more details, then the UVW and making the texture. Big thanks to @Nightshade/PR for helping with searching for more information for the tank.

This has been an interesting search........

Here's link to a 3-D model (Yugoslav) without all the modernization's. Finding a blueprint of the Kuwaiti version has proved quite challenging.

I will try to complete this model before I leave for a business trip from 4th Oct to 18th and after retaining I will try to work on the M109 howitzer or the Type 59 tank.

[+GKABS]

About 95% completed 

 

[+GKABS]

Started working on the UVW

[+GKABS]

Worked for about 10 hours to get the UVW completed, next I need to work on the textures I will make 4 skins. Two for the Kuwait army before and during the Gulf War, and the second after the liberation and the other two will be green and the other one tan.

[+GKABS]

One texter is completed with one color tan

[+GKABS]

Completed the model this is the first test. I need to work some more on the data file and the Green texture.
