US Army's 3rd Infantry Division
Operation Iraqi Freedom
M1A1HA (Heavy Common) Abrams (part 2)
Decal Sheet No. T35014
Review by Terry Ashley
The sheet contains complete markings for the four tanks of A ‘Alpha’ Company 1-64, 3rd ID; A21, A22, A23 and A24 plus an additional three vehicles to give you a choice of seven complete vehicles.
The decal sheet is again printed by Microscale and is of excellent quality with clear well printed markings with good colour register and very thin carrier film that is cropped close to the edge of the printed image that should react well with any decal setting solution.
As mentioned the sheet has full markings for seven vehicles which include the unit chevron markings, vehicle registration numbers plus the individual names applied to the barrel fume extractor and barrels on most vehicles. Also included is a good selection of stencilling including warning labels for the External Auxiliary Power Unit (EAPU), Shipping labels and warning labels for the CIP panels as well as additional crew uniform name and shoulder patches plus American flags and patches for one of the most complete and comprehensive sheet you will find.
The full colour instruction sheet is a feature of Echelon decals and include two view illustrations of all seven vehicles to clearly show the decal placement as well as giving additional information where needed and are some of the most comprehensive decal sheet instructions around. Also included with this sheet are the crew names for the four tanks of ‘Alpha’ company who named their tanks as a tribute to September 11 2001.
The vehicles included on the sheet are:
Highly recommended
Thanks to Larry of Echelon Fine Details for the review sample.
