I just completed it this weekend, it’s a great kit, but lacks the look that it’s been “lived in.” If you get it, i would suggest getting the infantry accessories from Tamiya, they really add to it.

I would highly recommend the kit, it goes together extremely well…

Here is the prior thread with a full run down of most of the available M1 Abrams model kits on the market.

The Academy has some issues with the turret length (it is the original M1 turret and about 5mm too short around the smoke launcher area) as well as the previously mentioned incorrect track. It also has some incorrect areas on the hull.
