So ok I was bitten by the new Dragon M1A1 AIM kit. But I wanted to go a further step kit bashing with the here other kits. So my question is, has someone here tried this or even have the same plans as I. What I’m after is with this 3 kit combination work.
I saw a few posts that the Trumpeter M1 plow is better than Tamiya’s, well after looking it over and building one for a Marine M60A1, all I can say is yuck. The plastic was weak, soft and very flashy…or maybe the molds are getting bad.
Now I’m in need of a favor here, I’ve seen some aftermarket decals that contain like 4-6 sets of Abrams decals. Would someone here have (one) from their sheet that has the Abrams w/ Plow. I hate to buy one set and have a few never to use again. I’d pay for them….
Happy Modeling,
Joe

You should be able to mix and match parts without issues. I have seen a couple builds using USMC parts from other kits added to the Dragon AIM and they looked great.
For the decals, let me check my sheets. I have a couple of the Echelon multi-sheets. Are you looking for USMC or US Army markings?

I might be able to help you out Joe on the decasl also.
I won't be able to look until Monday though. Lets see what Gino comes up with first.
