Since there is not interior available for this kit, I have decided to scratch build one. My problem is, I can't find any photos of the M1A2's interior. I know that the hull and turret are the same as the M1. Is the interior the same?

Basically yes. The M1A2 has a couple video screens for the TC and Driver that a standard M1A1 doesn't have.

The old Dragon M1A1 interior can be used on it. Also, the Dragon M1A2 kit came with a couple extra parts for the TCs digital screens as well.

Here is an M1A2 SEP w/full interior that I did for a customer using the Dragon interior anad scratch building.

Here are some interior photos.

TC's position.

Gunner's position.

Good luck.

Thanks for the quick reply Gino. I have one Abrams nearly completed and found a second for only $46. A real joy to build.
