This do-it-yourself metal M1 Abrams Tank model is etched with fine detail. The Abrams M1 Is an American third-generation main battle tank that entered service in 1980. It features a powerful turbine engine, sophisticated composite armor, and separate ammunition storage in a blow-out compartment for crew safety. Weighing nearly 62 metric tons, it is one of the heaviest battle tanks in service. Introduced with the U.S. Army in 1980, the Abrams M1 has since seen deployment ranging from the Iraq Wars through the Russo-Ukranian War. Fun and satisfying to assemble, the model parts are made from a pair of completely flat laser-etched steel sheets.
