"...This kit has all of the things that an Abrams kit has been lacking, and all are in the same box. For instance, the hull simply eclipses all that have come before. It includes the one main item that no manufacturer has ever made any attempt at properly portraying: a proper rear engine deck..."

"...Modelers looking for accurate replica of M1 Panther II should definitely choose DML kit - it is more detailed, more accurate and better molded than the competitor's product..."

"...This is a superb rendition of the M1 Panther II with the new hull and suspension parts being a generational step above any previous Abrams kit and certainly bodes well for the M1A1 AIM and M1A2 SEP kits to come from Dragon. The kit incorporate all the correct features for the early M1 with superb rendering of the hull top and rear exhaust louver details and will certainly be welcomed by modern armour fans..."

"...Advantages: gorgeous new moldings provide most accurate M1 hull anywhere; very well done mine roller attachment; nice selection of options permit greater detailing...

...DML has done a beautiful job on this vehicle as they are using it to introduce a totally retooled M1 hull. This hull is by far the best one going as it is accurate...

...Overall this is a very well done kit and one that is not as difficult to put together as others. The main problem for DML now is, will the new hulls be used in their other M1 kits (even as good as those kits are, they just embarrassed them with this one) and will they come up with a new turret to match?..."
