My 1/35 M60A2, finished today...

[Christophe Jacquemont]

... maybe I'll make a base for it later.

It's the Adler Model conversion for the Academy M60 kits, now out of production, which I modified to fit an Esci M60A1, I added 3D printed armoured air cleaner boxes and AFV Club workable tracks.


Long build but no major problem exept the tracks broke in a dozen pieces after weathering (thinner was too agressive I think) so after that it was damage limitation time, not fun.

The camo scheme was inspired by a colour photo of a real tank in Texas, but I think my yellow and black stipes are a bit too thick.

Comments and questions welcome.

Cheers,

Christophe

Thanks all! :cheer:

The camo is not strict MERDC per se, but that's how the unit applied it at the time. Looks a bit like the "Gray Desert" MERDC with A LOT of artistic license from the real painting crew.

Cheers,

Christophe
