Hi there
Im pretty sure its a re pop of the Old USMC HA with the Dragon M1 tank crew Thrown in Plus a set of Magic Tracks from the AIM I had a crack and after quite some effort it turned out reasonable though not even to the same standard as The M1A1 AIM Or the M1A2 SEP, for my liking I cant go past the M1A2 SEP or M1A1 AIM and upon hearing of their OOP Status I picked up four of each just in case I become dissatisfied with my 15 mixed examples That I have built or my build/weathering skills get better.
Cheers Ben

Ben is right on it. The CH USMC one is from their older M1 molds from the early '90s. They were considered the best on the market ubtil the AIM and SEP came out. They still can be made into great models, they just take a little more work.
