Yup, there is another post about is also on here. It looks official.

On a side note - it is not an M1 ARV (Armored Recovery Vehicle), but an M1 ABV (Assault Breacher Vehicle) used by engineers to breach minefields and provide an open lane for other vehicles to follow.

That is one mean looking piece of hardware. Are those some type of ERA blocks on the front and sides of the turret?
Thanks.

Looks like another "must have" kit ! All of these companies are missing such a golden opportunity by not issuing a M1 Abrams. First manufacturer who does will cash in BIG ! (If they do it right)
A Merry Christmas/ Happy Holiday to everybody !!!

With the way Rye Field is going with all of their Abrams kits, I would bet they do an M1.

Agreed on the M88A2 - Australia just got its second batch and have been adding snorkelling kits to the first batch.

I don't want to be "anal" here, but what's the point of duplicating something already published?
Such excitement about the news that did not check previous posts?
