Academy 13430 1/72 USMC M1A1 Precision Scale Model  [AC-13430]

Academy 13430 1/72 USMC M1A1 Precision Replica for Modellers

The Academy 13430 1/72 USMC M1A1 kit presents a tidy, accurate miniature of the M1A1 Abrams in USMC service. It is aimed at modellers who want true-to-form surface detail and historically sensible features in a compact format. The M1A1's advanced armour profile and turbine engine design are suggested through the kit's parts and panel lines.

Accuracy and Parts

Injection-moulded components show crisp detailing appropriate for 1/72 scale, with separate pieces that recreate the turret, roadwheels and track run. The assembly process is engaging and benefits from careful trimming and test fitting to retain correct geometry throughout the hull and turret assembly.

Scale Display Options

Assembled, the model makes an attractive display element in a collection of modern armoured vehicles or as a focal point in a compact diorama. Attention to paintwork and subtle weathering will help the small-scale details read clearly at normal viewing distances.
