arkbuilder2012 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Taking a stab at the AFV Club offering. Concurrently also working on the A1 version. Great kits, the PE stowage basket is a pig to work with and still needs to be anchored down. Both will likely be painted in MERDC and will depict vehicles from 1/252 AR. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue_Centurion Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Beautiful castings on this kit. The turret and hull look fabulous. The M60A1 is on my list to do a 2/72 Armor from 2nd I.D. Korea 1978. My partner and I were forced off a roadway in our M.P. Jeep during Team Spirit by one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arkbuilder2012 Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 A bit more work. It's going more slowly but only because of so many small details in this kit. Worth every minute. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrancisGL Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Nice MERDC camo pattern, how did you do it?, The weapon that is in the auxiliary turret, is not a .50, is it some type of minigun ?, I never saw a tank with one ... Cheers mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers mate It's a blank firing adapter for the M2 or M85 .50cal . You can see some in pictures from Reforger exercises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofjim Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Great job so far ! I love the MERDC it came out fantastic . I'm currently building the A2 and judging by yours it seems my A2 is of a much poorer quality in moulding than these other marks by AFV Club . keep up the great work .

I haven't given it that close a look. I think all of the lower hull and running gear are identical parts. Hope it goes together as easily as the A3 and A1.
