A very nice looking model. I won't profess to knowing anything about the different variants, but I know what I like,and I like this

Darn, those are good looking tanks. Pattons always look the business. Very nice work!

These look brilliant I’m looking forward to seeing the other two.
Revell makes some really nice tanks in this scale, I just wish they did more British Cold War AFV’s.

They're three beauties. I love the MERDC scheme on the first version.

I agree but you must admit the all sand colours with reactive armour looks more menacing

And for the fourth and final M-60 based on the Revell of Germany, I present the M728 CEV (Combat Engineer Vehicle). The M728 was only one of two M60 variants that saw service in Vietnam (The other being the M60 Armored Vehicle Launched Bridge). The CEV has a 165mm demolition gun in place of the 105mm and a crane attached to the turret. The base for the kit was the M60A3 with M9 Dozer Blade. Modelltrans out of Silesia provided the CEV conversion which had a new turret and early style roadwheels. As the engineer vehicle had the dozer blade, you will need the increasingly hard to find kit that included the blade. The vehicle was painted in a summer verdant MERDC scheme which was common to units stationed in the States during the 1970s and 80s. The tank Commander is by Black Lion out of Czech Republic.

I agree. However, I also like to use different schemes for different versions. Besides, the only time the M60 gun tank saw combat under American colors was with the USMC in Operation Desert Storm. I wanted at least one combat veteran, so my choice was made.
