I made the model a year ago during the holidays. Generally, I did not plan anything special, the model I wanted to do as it is said "straight from the box". Mainly I placed it during visits to my parents on the plot. Full of relaxation, sunshine, barbecue and beer. In my opinion Tamiya has done a great job with this set (35157). The main frame of the vehicle can be seen that they already have their years. All attachments related to reactive armor were added in two additional frames. You can see the differences in the quality of the detail between the old and new frames. However, it does not bother me at all. Frame elements are perfectly fit together after gluing the model into a whole we get a really nice miniature.

Very nicely done, sir...you should put this on the "headline" (or 'New Article') page.

Your M60 looks fantastic, really nice job. It has a real look about it. I also recently built this Tamiya kit and truly enjoyed the experience. I recently sold my kit to a USMC Tank driver who had experience with this Tank in real life. I added a few items to the basic model like new casted aluminium road wheels, and a new commanders cupola. Here are a few pictures of it.

Your M-60 looks very nice, as does the one just posted by Paul. Like Jeff Bailey, I also served as a crewman in M-60's. I went through all of the crew positions and logged over 2,000 miles driving one. Most of my time was spent as a gunner. Our tanks didn't have the ERA armor as your does.

Here's a link to a Tamiya model I built as one I served in.

1/35 Academy M-60A1, modeled after a tank that I was a crew member in…….. L Troop, 3/3 ACR

I posted a few pictures of one of the tanks I served in here too. Please keep on building and I'll be looking forward to your next entry.
