Academy 13298 - 1/35 U.S. Army M1A2 Tusk II Scale Model for Modellers

The Academy 13298 1/35 M1A2 Tusk II captures the upgraded defensive fittings and operational hardware of the fielded variant in compact scale. The kit aims to reproduce surface textures and accessory mounts so modellers can achieve a convincing urban armour look.

Operational Background and Key Features

Known for its enhancements to crew protection and close quarters capability, the Tusk II adds visible armour and kit components that change the tank silhouette. Those differences are reflected in this scale kit through distinct parts and surface detail.

Construction Notes and Finishing Tips

Part alignment is engineered for careful assembly and offers clean joins when parts are prepared correctly. Model builders can focus on turret detail, armor panels and realistic weathering to bring out the kit's sculpted features.

Specifications

Does this kit include TUSK-specific parts?

Yes, the sprues include elements representing TUSK II upgrades such as applique armor sections and urban survival fittings to reflect the fielded variant.

Are decals and paint supplied?

Decals and paint are not supplied with the kit, so plan colours and markings using reference photos or decal sets designed for 1/35 U.S. armour.

What tools improve assembly?

Sharp cutters, a fine hobby knife, plastic cement, sanding sticks and tweezers help manage small parts and achieve neat joins during build work.

Is terrain display recommended for this subject?

A compact urban diorama suits the Tusk II well, allowing modellers to showcase the add-on gear and weathering that define its operational use.
