M1A2 SEP "Abrams" Update

Pleased to be able to show off the first resin and pewter castings of the M1A2 SEP that we will be releasing in 15mm scale.  We're very happy with the results, and this very important modern period tank is also quite a handsome vehicle.


The kit is resin but has a pewter cannon, machine gun, hatches (which can be added closed or open), TC's cupola, and side skirts.



You may wonder why the side skirts are separate -- first of all, having them that way makes them look more realistic.  But equally importantly, it allows us to provide you with two vehicle upgrade sets.



After the base M1A2 SEP is released, the urban warfare versions of the vehicle will be made available as well -- both TUSK 1 and TUSK 2.  Having the side skirts separate made that feasible for us.



Stay tuned for details -- the kit should be available once I get it painted up for display, or when I get the resin and pewter castings, whichever comes first!  One never knows how the pieces will all end up falling together in this crazy business.

Next up -- the T-90A "Vladimir," as well as the newest versions of the HMMWV family, the M1151, M1152, and M1165.

    This is awesome news. Any chance you might do the T-80U? This is a t-80 that got some good use in exports markets as well as the Russian army.

    Now that is a nice piece! So crisp and detailed. Making the urban warfare variants is a great idea, since that's probably one of the major gaming scenarios people like these days.

    Is the sight in front of the loader's hatch a separate piece? It's such a nice kit I'd love to modify it for use as an M1A1 for my USMC.

    The CITV is part of the turret. It's resin though so it would be relatively easy to remove.

    If the kit is a runaway hit I may end up backdating it.

    WOW. Looking forward to this series. I'd almost given up my scheme for ultramoderns.
