Enjoy...

Looks good! The Tamiya M60 kits are nice, in spite of their age and issues.

Yours came out great.  Good job on the weathering and finish.

They are O.K.  I still prefer the Esci M60s over them.

Oh yes, the ESCI M60s are much nicer.

The only problem I really see Stik is that the Tamiya M60 series of tanks suffers from the same problem as their M48 tanks they didn't mold the suspension arms to represent a loaded tank. Fix the suspension like Doog did on his M48 build then add AM tracks and it would look even better.
