One question, the bridge that are included in the Dragon M48 AVLB kit, is that bridge still in use? Can i use a M1A2 abrams to drive over it or is the bridge to old for that?

Yes, the bridge is basically the same, but on an M60 hull and strengthened for a higher weight class. The US Army and USMC are replacing them soon w/an M1 AVLB, still with the same basic bridge though.
