Tamiya US M60A1 with Reactive Armour (1:35 Scale)

Developed from the long-running M60 tank series, the M60A1 variant entered production in October 1963 at the Warren Army Tank Plant in Detroit, Michigan, USA. This Tamiya model kit recreates the US M60A1 fitted with externally mounted reactive armour (ERA), a bolt-on array spaced away from the main armour to add additional dead air space for increased protection.

The M60A1 introduced major changes over earlier versions, including the M68 105mm main gun mounted in a wedge-shaped monobloc-cast turret. US Marine Corps-operated M60A1 tanks were equipped with reactive armour and referred to as the M60A1+ (plus). The vehicle is also associated with the RISE (Reliability Improved Selected Equipment) programme, which included items such as an improved stabilised gun, passive searchlight and a new air cleaner. A considered choice for adult constructors with an interest in US armour history.
