American Glory M1A1 Tank

Another one of my favorites. If you haven't seen this one, or opened it you'll miss the best part. Another fine casting by the old PM days. I really like the quality of the paint on this one also. The detail is amazing considering the cost. Lots of small parts that can break easily.

Not that I know much about tanks, and I couldn't tell ya if it's "correct", but that thing looks as good as it gets to me.
TANKS for the pic

I wonder how it would do in AutoCrunch or gravity racing? Is there a nonstandard division? I remember being at summerfest at Marks old house and seeing a Tank on the old track. Now that I think of it the tank beat the battery and the rock.

I never knew that 9-11 message was on the AG Abrams. Now I need to dig mine out to look at it.

yup! pm did a real nice job with this m1a1
I'm just wondering if the tracks will still be intact in 20 years or if they will be dry rotted and crumbly.

time will tell the story

Only six of that casting made according to wyatt's site. Awesome piece but a bit of a bugger to display in the old 3 in 1 display cases. The mine plows and radio boxes on the back make it tricky but not impossible. I got all six in one case. The pic is of the only white I have
