Excellent Kit

By: tsm5031

When it comes to the M1A2 TUSK II Abrams the market is flooded with options, Academy's Kit is in my opinion the easiest one to build while not sacrificing detail and comes with photo etch and clear parts which Tamiya often neglects. Dragon and RFM may have slightly more detailed kits but the part count is significantly higher. I liked the fact that the Academy includes paint masks for the clear part which makes painting significantly easier. You can 3 different M1A2s (Tusk I, Tusk II, SEP V2). I highly recommend this kit for the Abrams fan but would recommend to the intermediate and advanced modelers.

Pretty cool kit

I loved this kit, although I didn't purchase it from Hobbylinc. It's very detailed and offers 3 versions. Tusk 1 and 2, and the V2 with the Crows turret.
