Enjoy, go easy and have a good one people!

Reminds me of the REFORGER Excercises I enjoyed when stationed in Germany in the early eighties. The US Army saw fit to give me 5 M60A2 MBTs to do with at my command. The the hazards of grass covered muddy bogs I am way too familure with. :thumbsup:

The kit isnt really an M60A2 its an M60A1E1... the prototype for the A2 although the similar turret is not the same... Tamiya reissued this somewhat recently. I saw one oddly in a Hobbbytown USA. You might look over at www.hlj.com its probably not the most common (or popular kit). It takes some work both to make a good model out of the old, motorized kit and also to make a real M60A2 out of it.
