Tamiya Models M1A2 Abrams Model Kit

This was such a fun build. It all went together so neatly. I think the complaints on this product are actually directed at the smaller scale. 1/35 scale is a good size and although bigger it is still compact enough for a decent size display cabinet. At this scale the details are amazing. Lots of fun!

This is one of the better M1 tank models on the market. Assembly is good, there's a few issues I'll detail later. However for the price, it's a good representation of several versions of the Abrams tank, and comes with a lot of nice extras. So first, the good: +This kit will let you assemble one of the following: two different M1A2s from 3 ACR circa 2003, one US Army M1A1 from 2003, a USMC M1A1 also from 2003, and then two US Army tanks operating in Germany or Kosovo circa 1999. There's decals for all of those, complete painting schematics, and the different equipment from type to type (CITV for M1A2s, Missile Counter-Measure and different smoke grenade launchers for the USMC version etc) +Assembly is pretty easy. There's nothing that was too tricky about it. Almost everything fits +Instructions are clear, each different type of tank has clearly marked call outs for specific assembly steps. +Tracks are great for "rubber band" style. They take and keep paint and glue, handled all the weathering products I use without damage or marring. +Unlike many models, it comes with bags and boxes to help you fill out the stowage. And the bad: -Minor fit issue with the top hull to the rear of the tank. If you don't do anything to it, it sorta stands out a little bit, but it cleans up okay, just annoying. -This is not the most detailed Abrams on the market. It's quite nice, but it does not have the non-skid texture the Abrams should have on the hull. The clear plastic bits provided for the periscopes and optics are lame. I used large mylar confetti cut to fit instead, looked better. Basically this is a great model for the price. If you're a serious hardcore modeler you might be happier with a Dragon or other higher end model for the fine details, but if you just want a solid 1:35 scale Abrams, and have fairly modest modeling experience, this model will get you what you want for half to two thirds of the price of a more expensive model. Even if you are into more fancy models, this would be a great starting point for after market kit parts.

El producto llegó en perfectas condiciones y mucho antes de lo esperado, la verdad estoy muy feliz por la compra porque todos lo elementos estás muy bien detallados y las instrucciones son muy claras, es la primera compra que hago de esta marca y en este artículo es un rotundo 10. Lo recomiendo a gente que le gusta el armado y tiene algo de tiempo.

アクセサリー的な付属品が部品の割合を多く占めるかなと思っていましたが、戦車本体も 部品点数が多く作り応えがありました。納得のいく内容でした。
