Like the title says: do the Gyreens use this vehicle. The Dragon Abrams kits are awesome, and I hear the M1A2 SEP kit is even better than the M1A1 AIM I like so well.

My understanding is that, no, they only use the M1A1. The M1A2 is exclusive (in US service) to the US Army.

They are basically the same kit, except with the M1A2V2 you get some extra parts like the CROWS II unit.
You don't get the Ammo feed chute, and the Gun really needs replacing.
I just finished a build of the kit, it's in the Modern Armor section.

Like Lees said, no. The USMC currently uses only M1A1 Abrams.

M1A2, M1A2 SEP, and M1A2 SEP v2 tanks are exclusively used by the US Army in US service. Saudi Arabia and Kuwait do use M1A2s though.

Thanks, Gents, I have an M1A1 AIM in the stash with Perfect Scale Modelbau's resin A'stan USMC conversion. I'll stick to that. Much obliged.
