I went to my local Hobby Lobby today and they had a bunch of the new Hobby Craft Iraqi Freedom line.. Does anyone know anything about these??? Are they re-packs of another line??? They had a bunch of different US and Iraqi Vehicles, I just hope they aren't the same junk Hobby Craft normally puts out..

The M1A1s are the Trumpeter kits, which in themselves are not bad for the price, but the turret face problem must be dealt with. If you don't have the Trump kit I'd say go ahead and get one. They do build up well and are not too difficult.

They are reboxed Trumpeter kits with new decals. The Challenger 2 also comes with plans that tell you how to scratch the add on armor if you want to.

Got the M1A1 Marines from the AMPS EAST raffle. The actual kit is the M1A2, no new parts,only new decals (as well as the old ones), no decent instructions for the new decals, and none for the old ones. Looks like a rush job, but if you know what you're looking at it should be a good deal.

Cheers
