Tamiya 35326 - 1/35 US M1A2 SEP Abrams TUSK II Military Model Kit - Urban Armour Build  [35326]

Close Look at the M1A2 SEP Abrams TUSK II Model

The M1A2 SEP Abrams earned recognition for its role in 21st century conflicts, with TUSK upgrades developed to counter threats in built up areas. Reactive tiles, extra shields and improved situational awareness were part of those field modifications that helped crews cope with close quarters and roadside threats.

How the Kit Captures Combat Modifications

This Tamiya 1/35 scale kit reproduces both TUSK I and TUSK II fittings so modellers can show the tank at different upgrade stages. The kit features accurately shaped reactive armour panels, options for the barrel mounted M2, and additional external details to reflect the field fitted equipment.

Assembly Notes and Final Display

The kit presents a rewarding construction process with many small parts that benefit from careful handling and pinning where needed. Included commander and loader figures wearing body armour add context to dioramas, making the finished model a strong centrepiece for modern armour collections.
