1:72 scale model set M-1 Abrams

The M1 Abrams tank of the third generation is the backbone of the armored divisions of the U.S. military and the Marine Corps. The Abrams is characterized by heavy armor and is among the heaviest combat vehicles in the world. The use of a powerful multi-fuel turbine engine contributes to its performance. Great attention has been paid to the protection of the crew, thanks to a separate and heavily protected ammunition storage. The M1 Abrams, which was introduced in the early 1980s to replace the outdated M-60, features an advanced fire control system and modern armor. Initially armed with a 105mm gun, it was later upgraded to a more modern and powerful 120mm smoothbore gun, capable of firing various types of ammunition. The Abrams has been deployed with deadly effect in all major theaters of operation from the Middle East to Afghanistan and has proven superior to all other enemy tanks.
