DML and Tamiya both have kits with the TWMP.
The Tamiya kit (with plow) is an older one than the recent M1A2 kit (which can be built as an M1A1 also)
that recently came out awhile back. DML also released the TWMP as a separately boxed kit, but that seems harder to find these days. Eduard also makes a nice photoetch kit for the plow.

Trumpeter also has a M1A1 TWMP kit. DML and Trumpeter also do M1A2s. DML is supposed to be coming out with an all-new M1A1 AIM and M1A2 SEP with the same quality as their new M1 Panther II mine clearing vehicle. Check out my M1A2 SEP post here. I used the Trumpeter M1A2 for this kit. If you only are looking for the M1A2 parts (Commander's ccupola and CITV) I have a few extras, PM me.

As stated above, the older Tamiya M1A1 kit does not have the M1A2 parts in it. The new one does have the parts to build either an Army M1A1HC, USMC M1A1HC, or an Army M1A2. There is currently no model of an M1A2 SEP available though.

anyone got some close ups of the Abram with mine plow? All i have ever seen of it are the ones from Tamiya (catalogue) and have yet to see someone post photos of their own. ( i realize i may not be looking hard enough)
