Tamiya 32592 1/48 M1A2 Abrams Scale Modellers Edition  [32592]

Why Model the M1A2 Abrams in 1/48

The M1A2 Abrams is a modern main battle tank with roots in the M1 design introduced in 1980. Its signature flat panels and angular silhouette come from a focus on protection and performance, propelled by a high-output gas turbine engine.

A notable variant, the M1A1HA, was upgraded with an L/44 120mm smoothbore main gun and enhanced armour using depleted uranium. The M1A2 added advanced kit such as the CITV thermal imaging sight, a Position/Navigation System, and improved observation gear for crew members. Integrated IVIS communications improved coordination between platforms.

Deployments from the early 1990s and combat use in 2003 highlight the platform's significance. The Tamiya 32592 1/48 kit allows builders to reproduce these details at a manageable scale.
