Academy 13298 - 1/35 M1A2 Tusk II Scale Model with TUSK Accents

The Academy 13298 1/35 scale kit reproduces the M1A2 Tusk II's upgraded armour layout and field fittings with careful sculpting and proportion. This release focuses on external detail so modellers can recreate the vehicle's distinct operational look.

Variant Significance and Field Use

The Tusk II variant incorporates additional protection and equipment suited to close terrain and urban operations, altering both form and function of the base platform. The kit reflects these changes through dedicated parts and surface detail cues.

Construction Notes for Modellers

Parts are moulded cleanly for reliable fit, though the kit contains several small items that benefit from patient preparation and fine tools. Accurate painting and subtle weathering bring out the panel shapes and added armour elements.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly Type: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
Yes, the sprues contain elements intended to represent TUSK II style applique armour and associated external fittings for an authentic silhouette.
Aftermarket photo-etch or resin upgrades are optional; the kit is detailed enough on its own but can be enhanced for greater realism if desired.
Acrylics and enamel model paints both adhere well after a light primer; choose colours and tones based on reference photos for accurate finishing.
A small diorama or base showing urban or mixed terrain highlights the Tusk II modifications and helps contextualise weathering and accessories.
