M1A1HA Abrams

History: The most powerful main battle tank in the US arsenal to-date, the M1 Abrams was the result of a failed US-German collaboration to replace the ageing fleet of Patton tanks. An entirely new design at the time, the Abrams featured more than just state-of-the-art equipment- Chobham armor, laser rangefinders, computerized firing systems, gun stabilizers, weather sensors, and battlefield statics allow it to fire on the move and operate in all conditions. Its blowout panels promoted crew safety while its engine was one of the quietest in service, hence the nickname- 'The Whispering Death'. No Abrams were lost due to enemy fire in the Invasion of Iraq, 2003.

Notes: 1/100 scale model is a remix of m_bergman's. Now includes updates (i.e. reworked track treads, complete engine deck, full crew equipment, amended turret roof details, etc.) for aesthetic and historical accuracy. M1A1HA Abrams saw combat in the Invasion of Iraq, 2003. Turret should rotate and machine guns should fit nicely.
