Tamiya 1/35 Military - M1A1 Abrams With Mine Plough - 35158

The Tamiya 1/35 M1A1 Abrams with Mine Plough (35158) reproduces the US Army's main battle tank in one of its most recognisable combat configurations — fitted with the KMC Mine Clearance System (mine plough) as used during Operation Desert Storm in 1991. The mine plough allowed M1A1s to breach Iraqi minefields at speed during the ground war, pushing mines aside rather than detonating them, enabling rapid armoured breakthroughs that contributed to the 100-hour victory.

Tamiya's 1/35 kit combines the accurate M1A1 hull and turret with the distinctive mine plough attachment — a compelling combat-veteran configuration that tells a specific operational story.

Kit highlights:

• Accurate M1A1 Abrams with KMC mine plough attachment
• 120mm M256 smoothbore gun and Chobham armour detail
• Mine plough in both travel and working positions
• Desert Storm marking options included
• An important specific operational subject for the collection
