I have the Dragon M1A1 Kit number 3535 that I want to convert to a USMC tank with track width mine plow. I am looking for the USMC parts from Tamiya, Academy, Dragon or Trumpeter.

On a long shot I am also looking for Eschelon Decals 35006 full or partial sheet. I do not want to build a tan tank.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Gary best advice I can give is to buy Trumpeter's 5 in 1 Abrams offering, everything you need is there plus you can build a second abrams with the left overs.

Darren,

Does the Trumpeter 5 in 1 kit have the Marine specific parts? I have not been able to find a review or an accurate description. Have you built the kit?

Thanks

I have the kit at home as I wanted the mine plow for an M1A2. I will check the Trumpeter kit against the M1A1HA DML kit, and get back to you, it will take me about 5 days though as I just started my shifts tonight. It may be quicker to look for a review of the Trumpeter Marine M1 but I will check for you as I need some parts from there for my M1 HA DML kit.
