Eduard 35600 M-1A1 Exhaust Cover Late (Iraq) 1/35 Dragon, Tamiya

The Eduard 35600 M-1A1 exhaust cover late (Iraq) set in 1/35 scale is a professional photo-etched metal accessory designed for M1A1 Abrams tank models by Dragon and Tamiya. This high-quality modeling accessory allows for a significant increase in detail and realism in any plastic kit representing the American main battle tank widely used during the Gulf War and the Second Iraq War.

The M1A1 Abrams is a legend of modern United States armored forces. The “late (Iraq)” version replicates the characteristic features of tanks used during the Second Gulf War, i.e., after 2003, in desert conditions. One of the key modernization elements was a special exhaust cover that effectively protected the engine from dust and sand, while increasing the durability of the drive system. This detail became a hallmark of vehicles operating in the Iraqi environment and is an essential component of scale-model recreations of these machines.

• Scale: 1/35 – the most popular scale for military vehicle models, providing the optimal balance between detail and build convenience.
• Country of use: United States (US Army, USMC), also widely used by coalition forces.
• Period of use: Modern times, especially military operations in Iraq after 2003 (Second Gulf War).

Product advantages:
Assembly of the Eduard 35600 photo-etched part significantly enhances the detailing of the model, providing the thinness, texture, and complexity of the exhaust cover impossible to achieve in plastic. This element is essential for modelers who value accurate replication of vehicles operating in combat conditions in the Middle East. The set is recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers – as it requires precise handling and experience working with photo-etched details.
