Bunker Talk: M60 Family Photo

Sunday, March 28, 2021

Here is a whole family of M60 series tanks.

There are many more options.

The biggest one missing is the bridge layer. They are only now going out of service.

I always hoped Roco would do an M728 armored engineer vehicle. But that never happened.

Also a number of mine clearing vehicles were manufactured, but not in HO as far as I know.

And Herpa made a Bundeswehr breaching vehicle, converted from an M48; again, not an M60; but close enough for me!; March 28, 2021 at 11:25 AM

I replaced the running gear, on mine, with the very oversized tracks from a Boley Bradley; it looks pretty good that way; if I ever repaint it, I think it will look better than the zylmex model; March 28, 2021 at 11:30 AM
