Is the Bravo Team M1 Abrams worth getting?
I'd appreciate any opinions or facts on scale, detail etc. on the M1. I know a lot of you guys are experts and I'd like to thank you in advance for any info.

The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it, as long as you really believe 100 percent.

I'd definitely get the Bravo Team version. I chose that (actually have both paint schemes) over the BBI version. The sand color BBI uses just doesn't look realistic, the browns are too dark. Don't like the Humvee either, the 21st Century Hummer is a better color and matches the Bravo Team sand color better.
Enjoy

I took my BBI Abrams back as soon as I tried to stick a figure in it. I chose it to match my LAV, but could not stand it. The Team Bravo is so much nicer and I really hope we get the LAV25 in matching color. I got my 21st C Humvee today and agree it's the perfect color. BBI is too dark, Bravo too light.

I like my FOV 1/18 Abrams a lot. I was able to compare it side by side with the BBI Abrams at Target and the FOV is much better. Just a few minor complaints--the drivers' box doors are incorrectly located (they should be inside the box) and the 50 cal. machine gun and stowage rack are permanently bent.
Also, FOV recently released a 1/32 version of the Abrams at Target, but I still like the 1/18 version.
