Abrams Squad is THE magazine is for modern warfare vehicle enthusiasts and fans of great works. It is the first to take on this genre and probably the best source around devoted to modern warfare, the vehicles and people that fight in them from around the world. Here you will find the most engaging articles by the best modellers and writers in the world. Step by step articles, painting techniques, building techniques, illustrated reports, news, reviews and much more.

Contents:
4.- Commander's Display Unit brings you news and reviews from all of the latest products on the market right now...
8.- RTS: This section is like the best review build ever - where the modeller looks not only at the kit, but at the real thing using the same angle in the photo to show how accurate the kit is. This time it is the Leclerc MBT from Tiger Model that is the subject of a comparison build.
The cover girl is next, with “A Road to Kherson”, Ukraine 2022 by Witold Socha. Witold takes the T-64 minesweeper kit in 35th scale from Trumpeter.  A scene of contemplation one might think, in amongst the harsh realities in front of the tanker on the rear.
In “Swords of Iron” we see our first section of reference photos from the Israel War 2023-24.
The SLA APC T-54 kit from MiniArt is a bit of a trophy kit or some modellers, and the bar has been set high already, but Wu Jiasheng's kit hasn't really needed much aftermarket, which shows us how well or not the kit is supplied...
The IDAF's Namer CEV in 1/35th scale by Özgür Güner is next, with the Meng kit the centrepiece. We see a very dirty and dusty engineering vehicle in the hands of a great modeller in this step by step build.
Two fun looking kits in one box - the Magic Factory 1/35th scale MRZR D4 from Wu Jiasheng presents us with a scene of what looks like a lot of fun! Two vehicles in different combinations, with the drone & robot dogs that Magic Factory has also reproduced, it's a bit of a product showcase alright!
You cannot avoid the great pun in this one, with the expected walk over of Ukraine or the “BLITZKRIEG FLOP" being shown with a diorama from  Jan Chojnacki showing the T-72B3M (this one is the Meng kit) seen in Ukraine. 
Uwe Kern is up next, with his model of the S404 UNIMOG in 1/35th scale. This kit from ICM is seen in German service, somewhere in the middle east. There is heaps of additional aftermarket additions on this kit from Perfect Scale Armour to make it into what you see here...
In the regular “Armored News" reference section we see the newer and must unusual types out in the field in great photos from the  Abrams Squad team.
The Turret Basket section always previews the next volume of Abrams Squad and the newer kits are on the way...

This new great edition is now available from the Pla Website...
