A True Aussie Warhorse

The M1A1 AIM SA replaced the Leopard AS1 and became the backbone of Australia’s armoured capability. Armed with the formidable 120mm smoothbore gun, protected by advanced composite armour, and equipped with digital fire control systems, it provided Australian crews with a decisive edge in any environment.

With 49 retired tanks now supporting Ukraine’s defence, the type’s Australian chapter has officially closed — but its legacy remains.

This conversion kit allows you to preserve that legacy in miniature.

A fitting homage to a tank that defined a generation of Australian armoured warfare.
