About product

M60A3 with the M9 blade in 1:35 scale from Takom

This kit from Takom captures the American M60A3 main battle tank fitted with the M9 engineer bulldozer blade, which was mounted on the front of the hull. The blade changes the silhouette of the vehicle and is a rewarding subject for dioramas, because it suggests a story in itself: breaking through obstacles, preparing firing positions, clearing rubble. It is an injection-molded plastic kit in the most widely used scale for armor. Please check the exact number of parts, the contents of the decal sheet, the number of color schemes and any photo-etched parts against the instructions enclosed.

The real subject

The M60 was an American main battle tank of the second postwar generation, which replaced older types in the army of the United States and served in a number of countries long after the end of its American career. The M60A3 version represents the last major production and upgrade level of the line: it brought an improved fire control system, a laser rangefinder and further changes to the turret. The main armament was a 105 mm gun. The M9 blade was a separate piece of engineer equipment that could be fitted to selected vehicles as a unit needed.

Building and painting tips

Assemble and paint the running gear and any internal detail before you close the hull and fit the blade. Try attaching the blade only after the base painting, as access to the front of the hull is considerably worse with it in place. Apply a primer to the surface, put the paint on with an airbrush in thin coats and keep the modulation of the surfaces. For weathering, dark washes in the engraved lines, rubbing of the edges with a dry brush and pigments on the running gear and on the blade, which is usually the most scuffed part in service, all work well.

Who the model is for

  • Modelers of postwar and modern armor
  • Builders of dioramas with engineer and support themes
  • Anyone interested in weathering, scuffs and dust effects
  • Collectors of American armor in 1:35 scale

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The blade is engineer equipment mounted on the front of the hull, so in practice it can be fitted or left off. Whether the kit allows that without modification should be checked against the instructions.

It is the last major upgrade level of the line, which brought an improved fire control system including a laser rangefinder and further changes to the turret.

Please check the package contents against the instructions enclosed.

On postwar vehicles, washes in the engraved lines, a dry brush on the edges and pigments on the running gear and the blade all work well.
