1/35 M1A2 Abrams Completed

This series is Tamiya' s answer to the recent trends in the market toward finished models. Basically, these tank models are made from the plastic parts which made up Tamiya's original MM series kits. But they didn't just use these parts; Tamiya added some special features to the model. A lathed aluminum barrel & onner road wheels and photo-etched mesh parts for turret bustle rack enhance the authenticity and reality of the finished models. Also as the new feature, Tamiya added the commander & loader figures(half body) and the plenty of their bags, bed rolles & ammo cans for this model. It enable the owner the free hand to arrrange mounting of those equipments as the actual tank crew do. Painting and markings are beautifully done as the actual M1A2 in OIF as we seen on media, of course; a light weathering finish is also applied to the models.
