I did the Challenger II kit and loved it ..I too know nothing about modern tanks but there is enough info on the web to help you make a great model almost straight out of the box...

A 3rd infantry division M1A1HA is pretty cool. Get some Echelon decals for it and you'll have a nice model using the Dragon kit. Im going to be building one soon and theres plenty of diorama possibilities for them.
Also wait for the new DMl AIM-its going to be awsome!
