Academy 13504 1/35 US Army M1A2 V2 Tusk II ACADEMY

The M1A2 Abrams program incorporated improved frontal armor protection, improved mission electronics on a digital data bus, and implementation of the independent thermal sight (ITS) (M1A1s had the mount in place but was never used until the M1A2 upgrade). While 77 new-build M1A2s rolled off the production line, most were upgrades for remanufactured Abrams. The next round of improvements came as the System Enhancement Package (SEP) which added navigation and situational awareness. The additional mission electronics required improvements to the cooling system, both of which increased the electrical load on the tank. In order to operate the tank without the main engine operating constantly, an auxiliary power unit was added to the rear turret basket.

Set of 16 Game Color references for painting models and miniatures. Contains 17 ml./0.57 fl.oz. bottles and a color chart.

Vallejo Game color is a special selection of acrylic colours designed for painting fantasy and war games miniatures and figures. High saturation of colours and extra opaqueness make these colours ideal for use with small and highly detailed subjects. Colors may be diluted with thinners or Mediums, and can be thinned for airbrush use as well. The formula is non toxic and low odour. Brushes may be washed clean with ordinary tap water.
