The packaging is a little confusing. They call it an M1A2 SEP, however the image shown is an M1A2 SEP v2 since it has the Remote Weapon Station on the top of the turret. Additionally, no M1A2 SEP v2 has worn TUSK in combat, especially TUSK I as they show. M1A2 SEP v2s have worn TUSK 2 in training scenarios only, like below. TUSK is only installed in combat situations and was last installed in Iraq. The M1A2 SEP v2 is a post-Iraq version of the Abrams. "Soldiers assigned to the 1st Battalion, 66th Armor Regiment, 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division being shown how to install TUSK 2 armor on an M1A2 SEP v2 in Germany as part of Operation Atlantic Resolve, 28 Feb '17."

If it's based on the existing Tiger kit it should come with all the parts to build an accurate M1A2 SEP TUSK 1 at least.

The running gear on the original TM kit was horribly simplified, but the part that is visible under the side armor looks good enough.

This looks to be a nice kit. I wonder how it will compare to the Flyhawk kit. May just have to get the kit with all the goodies. Cheers Charlie

How much for the complete package I wonder? I would never pay more than a 1/35 scale up to date Abrams kit for this little guy.

Probably in the USD 30 - 35 range.
