This review is from: 1/35M1A2 Abrams Main Battle Tank (Toy)

This is not a toy, as some reviewers might think. I have been in the hobby of building miniature military vehicles via plastic or resin model kits, such as Tamiya's M1A2 Abrams main battle tank. After 30 years of constructing these models, I feel I know a thing or two about the hobby. Tamiya produces some of the best model hobby kits available around the world. The completed models provide an accurate depiction of what an Army tank, Air Force aircraft and Navy warships look like. Every year, Tamiya releases a new kit or re-releases classic kits that were no longer producted. If you want a toy tank, then look somewhere else. If you want to construct an accurate redetion of famous military vehicles, then check out all the kits Tamiya provides for newcomers and veterans of the model building hobby.

Amazon.com needs to reclassify this item. It should not be shown as a toy.

As my previous colleague commented, THIS IS NOT a Toy, they have to show a picture of it ASSEMBLED. It is a model kit which requires glue, paint and something you can not buy at amazon, EXPERIENCE with model kits of this nature. For those looking for a Toy for kids, do a search for UNIMAX ABRAMS 1/32. As of today, you can find them here at Amazon or your local Target also carries them in 1/32 and a beautiful 1/18 (which I also own). Be aware when looking at Amazon, that tanks are divided in Toys and Collectibles, that's the reason why some are more expensive than others unless you want your kid playing with an expensive collectible. A good Abrams or Bradley tank in 1/32 scale for kids to play with cost around $19.99 to 24.99 and 29.99 to $44.99 in 1/18 scale. 1/18 is big and fun, it fits 3 3/4 inches figures, the size of a Star Wars or G.I Joe figure.

Great level of detail, decals for 4 ABRAMS Markings for desert and NATO version. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Since most hobby shops have gone by the wayside, my son and I order Tamiya models thru Amazon. They have a great selection and very competitive pricing. Delivery service is great too! Most times the kits arrive ahead of schedule and the tracking feature helps too....thx Ralph & Sean Henry
