Very interesting and informative review of this kit. Having reviewed and built Flyhawk's FT-17 I had high hopes for this kit when its release was announced. I am very pleased to see from your review and build that my hopes were met and then some. I truly appreciate the volume of images you made for this review as nothing can tell as much as the "proverbial Picture". I must say though that I personally would have been interested to see the instructions and a few more build shots of the suspension in progress. Thanks Pete to you for all your effort to put this review together and to those who had a part in it's publishing.
Cheers,
Jan

This is a really informative review, and pretty much shows all that is great and the few blemishes with this new kit.
IMH, this is THE best M1A2 Abrams kit in 1/72 scale, bar none. Flyhawk needs to also release a M1A1 and possibly a M1, too.
Thank you, Pete for doing the review.
Now I just gotta get me one for myself, without paying for more than the DML 1/35 M1A1 AIM kit I got a few years ago!

I'm sorry about the instructions guys. I don't know why I didn't add them to the article.
