Hi
How accurate is this kit ? Any opinion would be welcome. I have seen their Bradley and I hope it would be as good...(not like the ESCI kits )
TIA

Best M1A1 kit in 1/72 scale, avoid the Matchbox kit, the Esci M1A1 kit is their M1 kit with a few new parts, avoid it as well. Their M1 (Esci/AMT/Italeri) is the best one in that scale though. Avoid the Hasegawa M1 or M1E1.

BTW, many of Esci's kits are real nice and can be contest winners. I won 3rd place with my Italeri (ex-Esci) M1.

Thanks Rob. I should be more indulgent with ESCI kits. In fact some of them were the first 1/72 scale armor kits I built a long time ago...

If you want your model to look better, you can probably find some PE from the company PART.
