Tamiya M1 Abrams (35124). M1/M1IP conversion

Here are links to a discussion about the mantlet shape on the IPM1/M1IP. Long story short, the overall mantlet shape in Tamiya’s M1A2 kit is correct for an M1IP although you’ll have to modify it for the smaller gun, while the mantlet shape in the Tamiya M1A1 kit is inaccurate.
