TAMIYA 1/35 35156 U.S. M1A1 ABRAMS 120mm GUN MAIN BATTLE TANK

SKU: 35156
The first M1 tank was delivered to the U.S. Army in February 1980, and was officially named and christened the Abrams by the widow of the late General Creighton Abrams. This new Abrams tank benefited from the latest technological wonders of the time, giving it enormous advantage on any battlefield. The turret, being very angular and squat, had a very roomy interior.
 
This angular design was combined with Chobham armor for excellent protection against the kinetic energy from hollow charge projectiles. The hull sides and rear panels are vertical, with only the front angled to deflect anti-tank shots.
 
The 1500 horsepower Avco-Lycoming AGT-1500 turbine engine provides remarkable speed and maneuverability plus being regarded as one of the quietest tank powerplants available today. During the mid 1980s the M1 underwent an improvement program to upgrade the 105mm gun to the type M256 120mm smoothbore cannon.
 
The armor at the frontal area of the lower hull front and turret was also increased, and it was given the new designation of M1A1. Other improvements are seen in the enlarged rear turret bustle stowage rack, a new style crosswind sensor, a revised gunners sight mount, plus reinforced suspension and transmission unit. Both the M1 and M1A1 Abrams were deployed during the Persian Gulf Conflict and they demonstrated outstanding performance and combat success.  
 
This is a 1/35 scale plastic assembly kit model of the U.S. M1A1 Abrams Main Battle Tank, the world’s most powerful tank which featured 120mm smoothbore gun, superb fire-control system that uses a laser rangefinder, and an impressive gas turbine engine. The massive, dynamic form of the tank has been realistically reproduced. Details such as engine grille and welded sections on armor plates have a rich finish. The model features 12.7mm and 7.62mm guns as well as smoke dischargers. Nylon mesh to depict the rear rack is included to enhance realism. In addition, a commander and a loader figures are also included in kit.
