Just a side question:

Ran into an early M1 Abrams in a Revell Box, being sold somewhere for very cheap. Has anyone had any experiece with this kit? Looking at it, I can see it needs much work, but just looking at some opinions before I go and grab this up.

As far as I know, the Revell M1A1 is a reboxed DML M1A1. If it is an M1, no idea whose it is, maybe Esci's. If it is the Esci kit, it is pretty bad. Does it have a multi-part hull; separate sides, rear, and bottom piece? If so, sounds like the Esci kit.

Ayup, I am figuring the box art isn't exactly accurate. And the pictures of the completed model left me much wonder about the rest of the model(only showed smoke grenade launchers). Still, at the price of 5 dollars, it'd have to be very horrible to not get. Just was seeing if someone had run into it before.
