Very nice - especially considering the many markings options including a three colour camouflage in addition to all the desert yellow M1s.

Thanks for sharing

I'm glad they did away with the magic tracks. Hope my LHS will carry them.

I would not be surprised if one or two of this beast will find its way into my stash. It looks great.

I was able to get one today from Tom Cockle, it looks like a great kit. Open guide teeth are a nice addition. Options for UAAPU or Hawker system and rear field telephone boxes. The Commanders weapons cupola is an incredible molding. VCSU and ductwork looks good. This appeared to be the full kit, so it shouldn't be too long before it's in the shops.

Can't wait for it.

My LHS already has my order in,well at least when they ship them I get the first one cause I ordered it like 3 months ago.

It does look like a nice build,now have to figure out what to do with the other 3 kits plus the AIM

Nice box art too might have to cut that out,never seen a front tow bar rear but not front.

Cause I never been to Iraq either

Enjoy maybe an SEP campaign is called for.

Also heard that they corrected some parts fit and redid the instructions they are kind of Willy nilly.

Tamiya has about the best I think.

Looks amazing. I´m also glad that no Magic Tracks this time, could Dragon also include this new tracks in the AIM version? or sold them as a separete kit, like AFV Club does... .

This one will be find it´s way into my stash too
