                        I was wanting to build a M60 tank but didn't know which one was better. I have built a lot of Tamiya models and I know their quality, but wasn't sure about hte Acadamy M60.


                        Thanks

                        Thanks, that is the way I was leaning because it it is cheaper.

                        Another alternative are the Esci/Italeri series of M-60 kits. IMO the Esci M-60 w/blazer armor is the best m-60 on the market.

                        I don't know about the M60, but I'm working on Academy's M151A1 with the recoilless rifle and if the quality is the same, I'd go with Academy. The kit is practically flash free and the detail is outstanding.

                        I've also got their JU-87 and it looks just as nice.
