Wassup, aviation fans? It's your boy, Mike, back at it again with another review! Today, we're delving into the world of land vehicles with COBI's Armed Forces M1A2 Abrams Tank. Now, you might be wondering, "Mike, what's a former pilot like you doing reviewing a tank?" Well, my friends, just like planes, tanks are fascinating machines and this one happens to come in LEGO-like blocks!

First of all, let's talk about the level of detail in this bad boy. The scale is 1:35 which makes it a pretty decent size, and the latest version of this tank is even more detailed than the previous ones. The prints on the blocks are of high quality, so you don't have to worry about them wearing off during use. Another cool feature is that it has working tracks and opening hatches to place the crew. The turret and barrel are also movable, so you can impress your friends with some sweet maneuvers.

The tank comes with accessories like spare tracks, ammunition, block sack, and two machine guns. Plus, it includes a figure of an American tanker equipped with a personal pistol. This set recreates the Abrams tank's appearance in the Second Gulf War in 2003, so you can be a part of history while you build.

Who would this tank be a good fit for? Well, obviously, if you're a fan of tanks or military vehicles in general, this is a must-have. But it's also great for anyone who's into building blocks or wants to improve their fine motor skills. And, of course, it's a great gift idea for kids who have a love for all things military.

Now, let's talk about the pro con list.

Pros:
- High-quality prints on blocks
- Working tracks and opening hatches
- Movable turret and barrel
- Comes with accessories and figure
- Detailed recreation of the Abrams tank's appearance in the Second Gulf War in 2003

Cons:
- Some pieces might be too small for younger children

In conclusion, the COBI Armed Forces M1A2 Abrams Tank is a fun and detailed build for anyone who loves tanks or building blocks. The attention to detail is impressive, and the fact that it comes with accessories and a figure just adds to the fun. However, some pieces may be too small for younger children, so keep that in mind. Overall, I'd give this tank a solid 8 out of 10. Now, if only they had a Concorde plane or a Pilatus PC-12 block set...
