Fun

By: Heather M

I really enjoyed this model. My only issue is that some of the larger pieces didn't seem to be molded that well and a lot of the marks to indicate where to glue pieces on it were missing or almost impossible to see. Also, the instructions recommend paint colors that aren't listed in the color key. Other than that it was great

One Bad A** tank

By: jays.columbus (Syracuse, NY)

Personally i think the M60A1 is the most ascetically pleasing to the eye. That being said i had two minor issues that i feel i should mention here. The decals that i'm assuming should of came with my unopened kit were missing and The turret basket that comes with the kit is RIDICULOUSLY FRAGILE....i destroyed it just tiring to take it off the spru. I improvised and was able to come up with a suitable replacement without much grief. Overall i had fun building this kit. everything fits together nice. very little putty work. all in all i'd recommend this kit to any armor builder.

Easy to build kit, gives impressive results

By: rarem37

This kit is a nice build of an M60A1 with ERA. It is based on one of the older kits in the Tamiya line, but has held up pretty well. As with all Tamiya rubberband type tracks, I put a couple of staples across the track join to hold the ends together. Another hint is not to glue the drive sprockets in place before the track is added. If you thread the track around the wheels and fit the sprocket in place last with the track around it, it save stretching the track and possibly breaking it.
