(This first appeared in June.) The Army is just beginning to receive the first of the latest Abrams upgrade.

The set requires both glue and paint in order to be completed. The Army’s current main battle tank, the Abrams, is the tank of the future. It is also an upgrade package for the older Abrams tanks. This kit includes parts for the assembly of one model. The M1A2 System Enhancement Package (SEP) is a successor to the M1A2. Clear lights and periscopes are included. The commander’s M2HB machine gun and panoramic thermal imager are rotatable. The coaxial machine gun operation equipment can move together with the main gun. The main gun has real elevation and depression angles. All crew hatches are realistic and movable. It includes movable suspension and workable track links. Main Battle Tank M1A2 SEP Abrams TUSK I/TUSK II plastic model kit can be built to feature the TUSK I or TUSK II system. The combat capability of M1A2 SEP MBTs fitted with the TUSK kits has been greatly improved in urban combats. This TUSK kit includes add-on armor against chemical energy armor piercing projectiles, bulletproof steel and glass shields against rifle bullets outside the commander’s and the loader’s hatches, and a coaxial M2HB heavy machine gun mounted on the main gun. The M1A2 SEP MBTs serving in the Middle East and Afghanistan are usually fitted with the Tank Urban Survival Kit (TUSK). The M1A2 SEP main battle tank is the latest variant of the U.S.
