a plastic 1/56 M60 would be great

The M60 was America’s primary tank through the last decades of the Cold War from 1961 to 1987 :


Created as an improved version of the M48 Patton, the M60 was equipped with a bigger gun and an updated engine.  Over 15,000 examples were built by Chrysler and the Detroit Arsenal Tank Plant from 1961 to 1987. Though too late to serve in Vietnam, Israeli versions of the M60 fought in the 1973 Yom Kippur War and 1982 Lebanon War.   M60A1 tanks fought in U.S. Marine units in Grenada and Beirut in 1983, and Iranian forces used M60s in the Iran-Iraq War from 1980 to 1988. During Desert Storm, U.S. Marine M60s fought against Soviet-built Iraqi tanks, destroying over 100 with the loss of only one M60. The M60 was retired by U.S. military forces by the mid-1990s.

I would definitely purchase a few M60A3's

[emmanuel]

So do I. At least four of them for my part to go with the forthcoming M113 ACAV.

m60a1 and the early m60 would be great

[emmanuel]

me too i would like the M60A1 or the A3 but my prefered version of the M60 is definetively the M60A3. If today the world is so familiar with M1 Abram tanks, people forget that the M60 tank has played an important role in US military history. This tank has maintained its position in Europe in front of Soviet forces during the Cold War. There has been three versions for the M60

the M60A1

the M60A2 starship


the M60A3


The two most popular production versions of M60 were M60A1 and M60A3, they used 105mm gun. But there was a special version: the M60A2, which is commonly known under its nickname “Starship.” The M60A2 is, much like Sheridan, equipped with a 152mm gun that can fire guided missiles.
