Roco Minitanks HO Scale M60A1 Tank
Roco Minitanks M60A1 tank model in HO scale.
This is one of my favorite tanks of all times.
And one of my favorite Roco vehicles.
Just enough detail for wargaming, easy to assemble and yet durable.
And just like the real M60A1 a great looking tank.
Tomy made a really great version of the initial M-60 (not the A1); that, and the Marklin 4MFOR (now Schuco) version of the Bundeswehr M-48A2G2 (updated German model of the M-48 with thermal shrouded 105mm gun) are my favorites in this series - pricy and hard to find, but really cool; heavy and detailed. Just that darned Tomy disintegrating track problem to worry about; although I replaced most of mine (I only have 6) with old tracks from airfix models
I have the Tomy M-60 turtle turret and the M-60A2 from Tomy. Very rare and hard to find, and yest those tracks were a nightmare. I substituted Roco tracks for the Tomy ones. The Tomy road wheels then when on Roco vehicles as extra stowage. Never got the Marklin because I don't do modern Germany. Bunkermeister

A lovely model of a handsome tank. Though given the choice I'd rather skulk in a Chieftain!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorites is the M60 series. Thanks for reading Tim Gow!
