Honestly I have no idea. There still isn't much info on these, not even on Black Dog's site. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable on Abrams tank could answer this question? Mario

Hi, Hisham! Judging from the photo, the M1A1 Stowage set looks like it's meant for the TAMIYA M1A1 kits (TAN plastic)- This new set, I'm sure, could be adapted to ANY 1/35 M1 kit, bearing in mind that they would possibly need some re-working on their bottom surfaces, or some trimming/re-working of the kits' various components, such as the Stowage Racks, Upper Turret components, etc, in order to fit and look natural. I think that BLACK DOG could have specified a bit more clearly which specific M1 kits this set would fit. Personally speaking, our more experienced friends shouldn't have any huge obstacles to climb over in order to adapt this nice looking Stowage set to any of the M1 kits on the market today... In looking at the photos of other new sets, they seem to be pretty much self explanatory... NICE STUFF!!!

The Maxxpro armour doesn't look like the MEAP tiles found in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Maybe some other aftermarket manufacturer (DEF, LEGEND, PRO ART, etc) will get the MEAP Tiles right... I hope...

I'm in for that M1A1 stowage, anyway. I love Black Dog sets.

Those who have my 743 image Maxx Pro reference know there are different supplemental armor arrangements for the different models. And of course this one that you're thinking of: And as luck would have it, a measurement of sorts. My main concern is whether or not they got the supports right, which are rather involved.

I've added some other relevant info and a pic on the other thread here at Armorama. But, to summarize, the Black Dog MEAP armor is fine for the Kinetic kit and definitely consistent with what Rob states. LINK
