Quick sneak look at Academy's M1A2. Will post better picks and comparisons with Meng and RFM later today (I hope). So far I would say detail is pretty much Academy standard quality, accuracy will be the test.

Since this kit comes with horror of horrors, rubber tracks (as if it would of been otherwise). Would the Bronco M1A1/A2 "Big Foot" Tracks be an accurate replacement? (As long as they fit)

Get the Bronco T-158LL. They have the proper open guide horns on the newer Abrams

There's a guy who's been doing a detailed build review on MMZ if you'd like to check it out.. It looks like a really nice kit... I might get one, even though I already got the MENG kit
