The Finnish M270A1 looks good. I can't wait until the US M270A1 comes out. Hopefully it will be out soon as the Finnish version looks the same from the boxart.

Strange? The boxart clearly shows a m1a2 abrams?

Yes, definitely not m1a1 on the box art.

What is the quality/accuracy of Trumpeter's 1/16 kits like? Especially compared to RFM/Meng/Dragon 1/35 abrams kits?

As an abrams fan I may need to get it if it's worth it.

Thanks,
Michal

They have announced both an M1A1 AIM (#926) and an M1A2 SEP (#927)previously. Not an expert on the differences but could they have gotten the box art swapped?

The 'boxart" pic of the 1/16 Abrams is very confused. It has the CWS of an M1A1, but the CITV of an M1A2, and it has USMC smoke dischargers, but the USMC does not use M1A2s. So what are they coming out with??? If they remove the CITV, it would best represent a USMC M1A1.
