Looks interesting w/the Iraqi decals. Too bad the Italeri M1A1 kit is bad. Unless they are using someone else's Abrams, it is a rebox of the inferior Trumpeter kit.

It has some resemblance to the Trumpeter, but it is a different moulding.

The parts/sprues of the new/re-released Italeri M1A1 Abrams kit appear to be the same moldings as those of their older M1A2 Abrams kit #6390 and/or M1A1 Abrams kit #6438).

Some may find Vodnik's "Comparison of M1A1/M1A2 Abrams Kits" article useful:
