The Tamiya 1/48 M1A2 Abrams (part HC-32592) is a finely detailed plastic model assembly kit of the modern U.S. main battle tank, measuring 205mm in length and 77mm in width. It captures the M1A2’s distinctive angular armour and L/44 120mm smoothbore gun with crisp moulding and smart parts breakdown.
The M1A2 variant introduced advanced systems such as thermal imaging and the IVIS network, and saw its first action in Iraq in 2003. This kit reflects the type’s imposing presence and surface textures, making an engaging project for armour modellers in a compact 1/48 scale.

A Modern Legend in 1/48
The M1 Abrams was formally adopted in 1980, and features highly recognizable flat surfaces and angular form, plus a powerful gas turbine engine. It was designed upgrade friendly, and various modifications throughout its service life have seen it remain at the cutting edge of military technology into the present day. One upgraded variant was the M1A1HA, which sported an L/44 120mm smoothbore gun and depleted uranium armor on the turret and hull; the M1A2 evolved this design further with technological enhancements such as the CITV thermal imaging sight, a Position/Navigation System and integrated sights for the commander and the driver. Its IVIS system allows advanced communication and information sharing between friendly vehicles. The M1A2 appeared in 1992 and in 2003 it saw its first action, in operations in Iraq.
