Hi Henk,

Of course it's a Dutchmen to be one of the first to order one !!
But don't worry, I have joined you and ordered also one !
Yes, it's not cheap and I'm sure that someone else ( Legend, Voyager ) will follow in the near future !

Have a nice and hot weekend !!

Wow this looks very current, can't wait until some one reviews it. Anybody know what exactly comes in each TUSK conversion set? Do the armoured shields also come with the Tusk package?
Be nice to see all the resin and PE laid out.

Yes, shields are also included, with apropriate thickness clear material for the armoured glass.
What you see on the pictures is what you get.

I have the set for two weeks already, but I kept quiet, because it wasn´t released officially worldwide until today.
The set is quite comprehensive.

Any chance you could lay it all out on so we could have a look at it? Perhaps a mini quick and dirty review?
It is promising if everything is included, great subject matter.

Hey guys I looked into this forum quite a few times and now I have just a little question: I ordered one of this TUSK II conversion sets from perfect scale as well; do you know if TUSK II is also applied to M1A1 versions?

Thanks in advance!

The specific components of TUSK II are only mounted on the M1A2 SEP......the ARAT II tiles and the 360 degree shield around the commander's cupola.

The TUSK I components are used on M1A1 variants as well as the M1A2.
