Just some a couple of upcoming 1/35th releases from Academy on the Hannants website:
M1A1 (don’t know if this is new or a rebox of another kit)
M551 Sheridan (ODS version?)
I’m curious to see if their M1 is an all new build or a reissue. Can’t remember if they released an M1A2?
I need to get myslef a new M1, maybe I’ll check into theirs.
It’s cool to see the Sheridan.
I agree Latch. Can’t wait to see the Sheridan.

Quoted from Academy’s BBS:
“…Thanks for your contact Academy. But, regretably, it’s just extended item from our previous version. We will just reproduce M1A1 serving Iraq war. Thanks!”
I interpret this as Academy will simply repackage their current rendition of the M1A1; most likely include the appropriate decals.
Regrettable, indeed. [V]
Oh dear…oh man…oh jeez…I was hoping Academy would be retooling their Abrams to current standards shown in their 1/35 UH-60 helo kits and 1/32 F/A-18C. Even their recent armor offerings were very good…I love their M113A2 and M60A1 kits; have both of models and look forward to building them…why couldn’t they do the same with their M1?
