Tamiya Marine Corps Desert Storm M60A1 finished
Posted by RedLeg0811 on Tuesday, November 28, 2017 10:22 AM

I have been working on this tank off and on for quite awhile. I have used it to try some new techniques. I added a Legend stowage set. Most of it I am happy with, but I think I am going to replace the whip antennas as they are wonky and should be strait.

Thanks. I saw a guy in my club just put packs on, which looked good, but when I went to do that I just couldn't. So I got stupid with making should straps and tying everying down.

Looks good, the spare road wheel could use some black on the rubber portion, and it looks like it is just stuck on without any bolts holding it in place.

RedLeg,

Great looking build. I also like the addition of the rack system.

Hi Rob,

There is actually black under the desert sand paint. I tried to sand it a bit to show, but not too much. Looking on reference pictures they just sprayed over everything, tracks, road wheels, antenna, etc. I have a picture that looks just like that road wheel.

Yes I agree with you about the mount. I was going to do something, but forgot about it as I have dragged this build out. Now that I was reminded I will probably do something about it.

I also realized later the ammo crate that is mounted on some 90 deg brackets is not attached in a realistic manner. Not sure I really care at this point as I am ready to move on.
