Just to prove I am still building models in Iraq, here is my latest. I just finished this up for a customer and will ship it off soon. It is an M60A3 TTS (Tank Thermal Sight) from 1-70 AR, 24ID in '83. It was the buyer's tank.
I used the Tamiya M60A3 kit. I tweaked it by filling all the motorization holes, cutting mud relief holes in the sprockets, adding lift rings to the commander's cuploa, drilling out the front towing points, replacing the tow pintle, and I added/changed a few other small items. Overall, its a pretty good kit. The road wheels are a little fiddly with the whole hub being the poly cap. They took some filling with gap-filling superglue to seal up the joints and make them look solid.
It is lightly weathered, which doesn't show up well in the pics. I am also getting used to a new camera and lighting setup using a couple small desk lamps and a good ol' Army brown towel on my desk here in Iraq.
Enough talk, here is the model.
More pics here.
All comments welcomed. Thanks for looking.
