Italeri 6596 - 1/35 M1A1 Abrams: Scale modelling description

The M1A1 Abrams is noted for its powerful main gun and protected hull. This Italeri 1/35 kit reproduces the tank's exterior contours with well defined parts. It is aimed at hobbyists who enjoy precise assembly and a finished model suitable for display.

Authenticity and visible features

Since its introduction in the early 1980s the M1A1 has been a reference point in modern armour design. Italeri's 6596 reflects the vehicle's key exterior features, enabling modellers to capture the look and proportion of the Abrams in scale form.

Assembly tips and final presentation

The kit presents a moderate modelling challenge with numerous small parts and alignment points. Use careful dry fitting, sanding and primer before painting to get the best results. The finished model presents well on a shelf or in a glass case as part of a collection.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Polystyrene plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
  • Part Count: Comprehensive detail pieces
Many aftermarket upgrades such as metal barrels and photo-etched sets are compatible, though some trimming or adaptation may be needed for a perfect fit.
Techniques like washes, drybrushing and pigments work well on this scale to convey wear, dust and operational grime without obscuring panel detail.
Store finished models in a dust-free display case away from direct sunlight to preserve paint and decals. Avoid high humidity to protect glue joints.
