I'm looking for a web site to order the engine set for the Abrams, and I cant seen to find one. What 2 places make the engines and where can I find them at. And I cant remeber the one that makes the best out of the two, can someone help me out on this?

I used the Kirin-set a long time ago... and it was not very good, to put it mildly.
If you are interested in seriously rebuilding and detailing an enginekit, you should use this one....

Hi Buddy.do`nt know if this is any help but Italeri released a multi media kit that included a resin engine set.I never have actually seen one but if you`re desperate for this,it could give you another option.

Kirin made one which i think is OOP but may turn up on ebay, the other option is the one made by CMK (this is the one in the Italeri kit i think) and is still available



CMK kits

I don't have the resin kit so i carn't really say how good or accurate it is

I've seen the Legend set at one of my LHSs here, looks very nice.

You can read a review about it from right here at Armorama.....
