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...

6.- 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 M2A2 ODS-SA Ukraine (Magic Factory) that is the subject of a comparison build.
20.- The next article is titled “Leopard 1A4 Hellenic Armed Forces”, and it features the build by Witold Socha of the Meng kit. Figures, a nice base and groundwork as well as a roadside building are included in his step by step process.
32.- “Swords of Iron Part 2” Israel War 2023-24 (References) by Abrams Squad. In “Swords of Iron” we see our first section of reference photos from the Israel War 2023-24.

40.- Óscar Ebri's Syrian T-55 in 1/35th scale is created from the excellent MiniArt kit. Oscar shows a Syrian version of the veteran tank in quite an unusual camouflage in his build guide..
50.- Jaffe Lam's version of the T-90 in 35th scale from the Meng kit looks like the choice of the times by the Russian army in Ukraine right now. The kit has the cope cage and dozer blade for clearing obstacles on the front.
62.- The MT-LB is such a cool looking retro-futuristic vehicle, and this version is the out of the box Trumpeter kit, with Fruil tracks, made up by Fabrizio Mercuri. He makes an impressive kit in 35th sale in this guide.
70.- The AVF Club Sho’t Kal Gimel in 1/35th scale is next, made again, mostly out of the box by Diego Bruzzone. This step by step build shows how t make such a great representation using only the kit, fruil Model tracks, some lenses and stowage.
78.- The M1279 Utility JLTV-UTL by Uwe Kern is made from the I Love Kit model in 35th scale. It is pretty much out of the box except for resin wheels and extra stowage / gear. An impressive looking vehicle, as Uwe mentions.
90.- 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...
