has anyone ever put together a m1 from this company? if so how was it, hard, easy, missing pieces, etc?

This is a very good kit. It is made up of the best parts from Tamiya and DML M1s. It also comes with lots of options and extras. You should have no problem building it at all. I highly recommend it. I have built a couple. The mine plow and roller versions are great too. I also like the feature of the engine panels all being separate, allows for easy installation of a resin engine.

Hi,

If you want- you can see photo compare of all avaiable M1A1 models at:
Takashi's page

Hope it helps,

Fireman,
Here is a link to the M-1 Series Tweaks List from Missing Links (http://missinglinks2.tripod.com/index.htm) that will assist you once you begin building the model. It has some good features but the turret suffers from some dimensional problems. Steve Tylisczk did a great job describing the turret fix in his M1A2 tweaks. Drop me a line at [email protected] if you have questions.
