    Whoops accidently left a double clip in there by accident, sorry about that, 7 hours of footage on this one so human error got me :D Hope you all enjoy this filthy cleanup! It's also an Abbot self propelled gun.. not technically a tank, but close enough :D And once again big up to www.youtube.com/@MrHewes for letting me clean it!

    My hobby involves me spending hours carefully replicating the paint chips, fading, rust, dust and caked mud in micro scale that you just spent hours obliterating full-size! It’s really cool to see a “de-weathering” job done on some armor for a change. Great work!

    You are making a nice job of that. Its not easy with all the angles. You always think you've got it finished and see something from another angle and need to hit it again. Its the curse of the job.
    During my career as a mechanic i spent a while cleaning earthmoving equipment for repainting and selling.. We hired a high pressure steam cleaner. It could lift the powdery clay off easily along with grease around suspension and engine bays which minimises the use of degreaser saving a lot of money. It was a heavy duty commercial one. It ran a diesel boiler that drank fuel but did a fantastic job. You could turn the pressure way down and still have the heat and clean radiator cores that were full of dirt and grass without blowing out the cores (fins). I learned quickly with the heat you dont need as much pressure a lot of the time. You've put a lot of time into that job and it looks good.

    Wow! Cleaning a tank is an all day job. I used to be a tank mechanic in the 1st Cavalry division. I think you would appreciate the wash racks down there at Fort Hood Texas. We would drive the tracked vehicles through the “bird bath”, followed up by hours under the vehicles doing the tracks, roadwheels and suspension, with a firehose. The packed southern clay and gravel was murder. A de-scaler makes quick work of that stuff when it’s dried out. Enjoyed watching!

      @@noahzark7975 "In my opinion, any tracked vehicle is a tank". Would that non-military tracked vehicles? Of course not. You might have called a self-propelled gun, a tank. However, it still isn't. Tanks have a completely different role to a howitzer, as you will be aware. Tanks are an optimal balance between, mobility, armour and firepower, different to any other type of vehicle.

    You may laugh but as an X-Caver I used to wear a suit similar to yours but in yellow. I was immersed in water quite often up to my chest and to seal the water out as much as possible I used to use a 2" cross section of a 5"plastic drain pipe in the top of my Wellies and then slid the suit legs over the Wellies and insert my leg in to a 2: cross section of rubber inner tube to seal the suit to the drain pipe. The suit let in a small amount of water but not much to complain of :)

    Definately an Abbot Self Propelled Gun, 105mmm, not a tank, although Wiki stated their demise in the 1990 they were redundant in the late 70s. Great reliable gun and vehicle but had an old radio system and fire control that was to expensive to update so the army scrapped them when the new radio system was adopted. Shame because of those rare AFV that was reliable engine and gun, the armour was relatively thin as it was an SPG not a tank.

I think it'll look just like brand new again myself. Cause that clay mud helped out majorly with helping preserve the body parts.& Frame to over the years of setting up. I believe if it would have sat any longer than that though it would be ave started rotting out from the weather.& Paint peeling off of the body structure of that military tank though for sure guys. I think it's Awesome job that you guys are doing on it to.& With that fine piece of history as we'll to keep up the good work. It'll sure enough pay off to especially now with everything going on now days to.
