Apparently only issue no. 1 had the special background w stats.

Issue 2, 3 and 4 which was released some months back also came with yellow card.

The mamak magazine shop located at IPC LG also had yellow card. It could be 2nd production run. Dun think its variant.

However other places still have the black card with backdrop card edition.

Most of the stores I asked for issue 2 also cant be sure. But they are many customers asking abt it eagerly.

you removed the casing? Can put back or not after that? How did you remove the screw?

yea.. casing removable..

as for the background.. i think if your really want you can do like one of the forumer.. print out think reason they stopped providing background is due to the display case? since if you are gonna put the tank into the display case, the background would be useless..

hmm...interesting. Can provide links to the background?

IS it a mirage in the desert? Im seeing a backdrop card for this M1 Abrams.

If got, Im getting a 3rd Abrams tank for myself.

I spotted them on last Sat at Curve area.

BORDERS - 3 on display and one carton full at the GF counter.

POPULAR IPC - 3 on display near magazine walkway area.

Indian mamak store IPC LG - 4 on shelves.

Im not sure if any place within the area has the tank magazine but all the three places I spotted have variant yellow plain card.

Other places prior to this have backdrop cards.

Already add with custom background and also some boxes from Gundam Machine Nest     

I'm sure there are better videos...this doesn't look that nice.
My technique is melting the plastic with solder to replicate bullet damage..then paint over it.

Added on April 25, 2012, 9:19 pmwait, before I can do anything I need the triangle screw XD

do upper body first and see lor...maybe lower body can do light damages which do not require melting plastic.

Btw, I got my second Tiger Tank (with the card) and noticed the tank cannons are sideways on this one...and the bottom casing is grey instead of black. Second issue also same...looks like those with cards have grey casings.
