Hi, which M1A2 is best, Tamiya, Academy or Dragon?

Hi... in short: Tamiya...(it´s best to add some after market sets such as photo eched parts)
Mention, that all dragon m1´s got a interior, some more details, and the anti skid coating... tamiya´s tank not...
while the tamiya kit has got a great fit...
(oh, and by the way, forget the other kits... they can´t beat tamiya and dml^^)

Of your choices, Tamiya's M1A2 is the best, followed by the 10+ year old Dragon kit. Academy does not make an M1A2. Not mentioned are the Italeri M1A2 and the Trumpeter M1A2. Both are decent kits with some faults.

Thanks i buld old DML and old Tamiya.
DML is old kit and Tamiya new, this is good.

Having built the Tamiya M1A2, its definitely a really great kit to build. Good fitting and lotsa stowage goodies in there. I really didnt too well for that kit though so i do hope to get another one and start over. I will probably have a better crack at DML's M1A1 instead.
