They're missing two sets of roadwheels! Looks more like a Challenger than a M1A1... My four year old could build better! Ach! Still, they'll probably sell a million of them... damned insensitive profiteers. It's like going to Wal-Mart: All those (...) (22 years ago, 27-Sep-02, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) Point me to a LEGO model in the last 50 years with an equivalent part count and price and which was as scrupulously accurate as you're demanding the MegaBloks model to be.

(...) You know, now that I think about it, has the M1A1 been used in combat anywhere *except* desert terrain? Regardless of Desert Storm Part Deux, I suppose a case could be made for sand camo as the "default" color for that kit. Tamiya's had a nice (...)

(...) I agree. As far as we know(1), the M1A1 hasn't been used in real combat anywhere other than desert terrain. It was designed for deployment to the tanker's paradise of Northern Europe though, right? 1 - this is an important caveat. fnord. (22 years ago, 30-Sep-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
