MENG MODELS ABRAMS
M1A2 SEP • TUSK 1 / TUSK 2
MODELLED BY DAVID PARKER
I must confess that the Abrams is a tank that has completely failed
to capture my interest so that this is the first one that I have
modelled. As such there is a steep learning curve for the Abrams
novice with a confusing variety of sub-variants waiting to catch the
unwary modeller. Meng have modelled the most up to date
versions of the Abrams and the kit provides the parts to allow you
to model either TUSK 1 or TUSK 2 versions of the M1A2 SEP The
.
good news is that there are indications within the kit that other
2
versions of the Abrams may also be planned. The kit is typical of
Meng’s current releases with photoetched fret, clear moulded
periscopes and some scary-looking multi-part tracks. It features
working torsion bar suspension and some superb crisply moulded
detail along with a superb anti-slip texture. It arrives in a deeper
than expected box which promises plenty of build to get your teeth
into and with two examples on my bench I had double the fun!
