What are the inaccuracies or missing info in Dragon's instructions for the M1A1 AIM? I'd like to know before I start it. Thanks.

Try reading the reviews, a bit more help than just inaccuracies.

What I'm looking for are the problems in the instructions. I know from readings of reviews both on here and in other places that there are a few spotty areas in the instructions but I never found any further details about them. That's why I'm looking for this.

Here is a thread that deals with the misnumbered PE engine deck screens.

. I guess you have to be model specific because unless one has built that model it would be hard to point out error in the instructions . Unless you sure just collecting a data base for future ref.

Read through that entire Planet Armor thread linked to from Sherb's post; it should tell you all you need to know.

So... by me saying

...in Dragon's instructions for the M1A1 AIM?
... I was not being model specific? I'm sorry if I rub you the wrong way but I was; I specified the manufacturer and the name of the kit. The only thing I didn't include was the kit number, but since there was only one line of AIM Abrams (not HA, not the Panther II, not the M1A2) kits made by Dragon, I believe. I was being pretty specific. I wanted to know the missed information in the instructions for one kit and one kit only.
