Expensive Christmas Howard, but I agree. Line abreast would make for a sweet display.

I've been hoping for a modern range since I started collecting some time ago and the M1A2 was one of the tanks I was waiting for.
This looks like yet another great model from Figarti and I hope Clive has one (or more) at the London show before I make a decision about this and the M198 and Stryker. I have already preordered the Su152 and will also look at the other Russian stuff there, but I can't get everything and I may have to pass on this tank.
Is this the first batch of vehicles for the War in Iraq, and will we soon see a Challenger II and Warrior. We may even see an Iraqi T-72 or T-55.
I would also like to see a Russian T-80U if they went global modern or a Chinese Type 99 but then this hobby would become far to expensive.
Regards
Andy

No one's falling for it. You're as weak willed as the rest of us and will cave as soon as you see it.
Unless you did what you did last time, and only bring cash to the show.
Apart from just 1 or 2 credit cards for absolute emergency use only.......yeah, right!
See you at the show mate.

I found this website some time ago. It provides some good information on a number of current MBTs. here is the article on the M1A1/2

Here is a website that provides some interesting information on the various 120mm ammunition.

Do we have any more news on the release of this beauty of a tank -- the M1A2 Abrams ?
It is coming to mid-June and it is not up on the website yet.

Mid to late June is still the targeted date per Figarti at the Texas Show. Who knows it might appear at the London Show in late June.
