Tamiya 1/35 M1A1 Abrams Ukraine Plastic Model Kit #25216
One of the most capable main battle tanks ever fielded, the M1A1 Abrams has seen combat from the deserts of Iraq to the plains of Eastern Europe. Adopted by U.S. forces in 1984, the Abrams was upgraded from a 105mm rifled gun to a devastating 120mm smoothbore cannon — a change that made it more than a match for Soviet-era T-72s during the Gulf War. In January 2023, the U.S. announced it would supply approximately 30 M1A1s to Ukraine, marking a new chapter in this legendary tank's service history. Tamiya's Limited Edition kit captures that moment with all-new box art and Ukraine-specific decals.
