Unlike Abrams tanks Dragon models # 60015 & 60016 this one and 60017 representing earlier version that didn’t have commander’s thermo-vision device.

Dragon ARMOR 1:72 models are: This line features static pre-assembled, pre-painted models made of both diecast and plastic; true to scale; authentically detailed and historically accurate; turret rotates 360 degree, gun elevates; each WITH its own protective SPLAY CASE, which is dust resistant and stackable
In my personal opinion as a collector models from this series are superior quality that sold at unusually low price, even with new higher price. In my opinion the quality is exciding of famous models from ARMOUR Series by C.D.C. though those models were at a double + price compare to Dragon Armor models.
Models from this line are very difficult to get usually they are pre-sold by manufacturer or sold out soon after release date. Some first issues now sold at five-six times of its original price and practically are impossible to find.
