Overview:

Veteran Warrior
The M1A1 Abrams was adopted by U.S. forces in August 1984, and while it was originally equipped with a rifled 105mm gun, a later upgrade to a 120mm smoothbore piece significantly improved its offensive capabilities. Also given a precision fire control system and a 1,500hp gas turbine engine, when the M1A1 was fielded in the Gulf War in 1991, it proved more than a match for enemy T-72 tanks. It has remained in service with timely upgrades over the years, and in January 2023 the U.S. announced it would send around thirty M1A1’s to Ukraine. This LIMITED EDITION assembly kit release come with all new box art and decals.
