Construction
Since we have a generous interior in this model, we start with a tiled base and surrounding walls. Provision is also made for simple optional motorization. After completing the lower hull, it’s time for the tracks. Unfortunately, these don’t run as well as 12Go managed to do on the Armata.
The upper part of the hull is very simple and completely tiled. It is divided into 3 segments that can be easily removed to access the interior. Next up is the turret of the modern tank. This has a good match for the shape of the original thanks to many small hinged attachments. Finally, you can decide whether you only build bag 3 with the interior or also bag 4, which contains additional parts for an optional engine. Since this is identical to the Armata, I did not build it again for the Abrams-X. I only applied the most important stickers that are necessary for the correct look. They are actually supposed to be transfer stickers, but they turned out really poorly and unfortunately a bit too small.
Conclusion:
The model itself is really great. There is no competition to date. Some areas are a bit unstable due to the construction techniques used. The quality of the bricks is somewhere between COBI and Quan Guan. But there is still plenty of building fun for little money and the Abrams-X looks great on the shelf.
