- Thanks for the info. I was about the shell out $60+ on various accurate T72
- resin parts i.e. AEF hull, turret, fender paniers, wheels. On the subject of
- the M1A1. I got the non-mine plow version a month ago. Does anyone know if
- the latest one has a corrected turret - i.e. with the 8 inches of addition
- frontal armor, or is it the same as the earlier version?
