All of these have at one day or another been built by me. That said, what is your question?

For simple OOTB builds, they are what you expect from Tamiya - GREAT! For the AMS in you, there is never a kit that does not need some bt of correction.

The M1A2 suffers from some inaccurate items (i.e., smoke dischargers) while the M2/M3's amnd the M113 can add some added details. But, they are a deffinate buy and build none the less.

If you ahve any other question, just ask.
