U.S. Army and Marines, IP M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank.

Artitec 1870118, Resin 1/87 Scale Unfinished Kit.

The M1 Abrams entered service in 1980 and currently serves as the main battle tank of the United States Army and Marine Corps. The export version is used by the armies of Egypt, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Australia and Iraq.  

This is the model IP M1 Abrams Tank. The IP stands for improved performance, a minor upgrade upon the protection of the M1 Abrams. This is primarily confined to improved composite protection in the turret cheeks, resulting in a slightly lengthened turret. The IPM1 maintains the same engine, weapon and other internals of the M1. About 890 of the IP M1 were produced between 1984 and 1986.
