Get this model. There are alot of TUSK I, II, and V2's out there. Not that many A1's with modern tooling. Dragon makes a good AIM but now you can add Meng to the list.
This model can be built into 3 different variants of the M1A1. I chose this model because of the USMC AIM variant.
I've built this model before and the instructions can get a little confusing but just take yer time and keep in mind the variant your building.
You might've heard of some fit problems . It's not that big a deal. It's a little sanding to correct a few issues. NOT A BIG DEAL.
The only thing that I don't like is the barrel is in two halfs. In the same kit they slide-mold a snorkel for the engine air intake that I miss took as the barrel. So why in the heck didn't they slide mold the barrel? Meng, to me, will never be epic until they start slide molding barrels. I just build an Academy M1A2 and the barrel was one of the finest enginered barrels I've ever put together. It was slide molded.
With workable tracks and PE, this kit is awesome. Very nice.
