Large Model Size: The completed model measures a substantial 27.9cm length, providing a striking display piece. Model Scale 1:35: Accurate scale model for a true-to-life representation. 1/35 scale has proved to be a favourite amongst Model Kit builders, with many manufacturers adopting this scale, especially for Military kits. The M1 Abrams was introduced in the early 1980s to replace the ageing M-60. It is characterized by its heavy armour, one of the world's heaviest combat vehicles, and its powerful multifuel turbine engine. The Abrams boasts a sophisticated computerized fire and control system within its modern armour-plated hull. It offers superior crew protection, particularly with the tank's main body's heavily protected ammunition storage area. Initially armed with a 105 mm main gun, it has been updated and replaced by a more modern and powerful 120 mm smooth-bore cannon.
