Review: SUPERB Abrams kit! - I'm pretty sure I reviewed this before, but it dissapeared, so I'm doing it again. I've built this twice; it's one of the highlights of my 100+ piece armor collection. It can be built as one of three Abrams variants. For the money it simply cannot be topped. The parts are super crisp, the detail is amazing as well as accurate, the instructions are clear, photo etch is included as well as copious decals, and it comes with an excellent painting guide. Do not confuse it with the Academy Iraq 2003 release - that kit is trash. It has vinyl one piece tracks in the correct configuration (track pads). Many clear parts are included. It comes with the CROWS weapon station. This kit compares VERY favorably with the Tamiya TUSK II release but is better and for less money. Depending on the variant you build you'll have a lot of goodies left over for the parts box. I'm considering building a third one, as I just received the Hobby Boss M911 C-HET W/ M747 heavy equipment hauler and need a "clean" ( not covered in stowage) 1980's era Abrams for the trailer. In short I just can't say enough good things about this Academy kit. True, Meng, Dragon and Ryefield all make wonderful Abrams kits (Ryefield even has a complete interior and engine bay, and Meng has workable tracks and suspension...but do you really want or need that in a static display model?) But you'll pay considerably more for those kits. So I've done the calculus for you....get This Academy kit and you won't be sorry! Even a relative novice should be able to build this kit if they are willing to exercise patience and follow instructions carefully. The one caveat I'll add is that This kit comes with four instruction booklets, and you jump back and forth between them depending on which variant you build, so it helps to "know your Abrams". And I really shouldn't have to say this, but for those careless shoppers out there that think they're buying a toy for their child, This is not a toy - it is a scale model kit comprised of hundreds of parts, and yes, you have to assemble and paint it yourself. Review: Best M1A2 TUSK II kit for the money - This is an excellent kit. Parts fit great and you get a ton of extras like photoetch and lots of decals. This has a fairly high parts count, made evident by the inclusion of four seperate instruction booklets. Don’t let that steer you away as there are 3 ways to build this tank and the illustrations in the instructions are large and very detailed. Overall academy knocked this out of the park! ## Features - Has parts for building either V2, TUSK I, TUSK II (Tank Urban Survival Kits) with three marking options - Photo Etched Parts & Masking Seal - Flexible Tracks, CROWS, Reactive Armor, Gun Shield Parts, Abrams Reactive Armor Tiles, Block-shaped Reactive Armor, and More... ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01F4JZSQC | | Additional Features | Photo-etched parts, Masking seal, Clear parts, Etched army identification panels, Parts for different versions and marking options | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Art Craft Kit Type | plastic model kit | | Brand Name | ACADEMY HOBBY MODEL KITS | | Color | Molded Color | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (184) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 08809258925149 | | Included Components | Molded Plastic & Photo Etched Parts with Instructions | | Item Dimensions | 10.35 x 4.5 x 3.85 inches | | Item Type Name | 1/35 Academy U.S. Army M1A2 Tusk II | | Item Weight | 2 Pounds | | Manufacturer | γ‚’γ‚«γƒ‡γƒŸγƒΌ(Academy) | | Material Type | Plastic | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Paint Type | Not Included | | Product Style | Industrial | | Scale | 1:35 | | Seasons | All Seasons | | Size | Small | | Subject Character | Military | | Theme | Military | | UPC | 634753053473 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** ACADEMY HOBBY MODEL KITS - **Color:** Molded Color - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 10.35 x 4.5 x 3.85 inches - **Theme:** Military ## Images ![13298 1/35 US Army M1A2 Tusk II - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/710yX6WmeGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ SUPERB Abrams kit! *by J***. on April 30, 2020* I'm pretty sure I reviewed this before, but it dissapeared, so I'm doing it again.

Parts fit great and you get a ton of extras like photoetch and lots of decals. This has a fairly high parts count, made evident by the inclusion of four seperate instruction booklets. Don’t let that steer you away as there are 3 ways to build this tank and the illustrations in the instructions are large and very detailed. Overall academy knocked this out of the park! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Quality, Very Detailed *by J***E on September 12, 2019* This is an excellent kit and very detailed. I built the Tamiya M1 several years ago and this is a much better kit. It has a full set of vision blocks (unlike Tamiya) and the barrel is slide molded. There are a lot of parts but that just adds to the details. The kit includes PE for the turret baskets and has a nice antiskid texture. My only minor complaint is the lack of figures. I added a tank crew from MiniArt and a modern US stowage set from Tamiya (jerry cans, tarps, ammo cans). Both are available from Amazon. I'm still waiting on a couple of igloo coolers from Meng. All in all a fun build at a very reasonable price. ## Frequently Bought Together - 13298 1/35 US Army M1A2 Tusk II - Academy 1/35 M2A2 Bradley Iraq 2003 Tank Plastic Model Kit #13205 - Rustark 9Pcs Gundam Model Tools Kit Hobby Building, Repairing and Fixing Set for Kids --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/36277787-13298-1-35-us-army-m1a2-tusk-ii](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/36277787-13298-1-35-us-army-m1a2-tusk-ii) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
