I have started on the Takom USMC M60A1 w/ERA and Dozed Blade. I will be building it basically OOB. The obligatory box art.

It represents this USMC tank from Operation Desert Shield/Storm ('90-'91).

So far, I have the basic hull built and have started on the dozer hydraulic system parts. This is my second Takom M60. I used the hull from their CM-11 Brave Tiger kit on my M60 AVLB project a few years ago: https://cs.finescale.com/fsm/modeling_subjects/f/3/p/181106/2051660.aspx

The kit is just falling together with no issues.

Here is the basic hull. The extended headlights and their guards that are part of the blade kit have been added. As part of the ERA kit, the grenade stowage boxes have also been relocated to the sides of the air cleaner boxes.

On the left rear, you can see the hydraulic reservoir parts, along with the hoses that go down the back of the tank and enter the engine compartment on the left side.

The kit is very complete and even includes the hydraulic hoses that go under the left side of the hull up to the front to raise/lower the blade.

Next up is the blade. More to come later.
