I had 5 QRF M60 tanks from QRF. They were purchased years ago when I had my first thought of this project. I ordered them from Wessex games. I broke the barrel on one turret and QRF was nice enough to send a replacement. I was surprised when I got not just a new barrel I got a whole turret with the barrel in it as one piece.

This is when I realized QRF had remodeled their M60A3 tank. I ordered a whole tank to compare with my older ones. The model was nice, but bigger than the older mold. The tracks where re done but made the vehicle much taller than before. It stands a bit taller than the QRF M1 now. The turret was also bigger.


The images below show the current QRF M60A3.

These images are of the older mold of the M60 tanks.

Don't recall any A3's in US service mounting a searchlight.

Does anyone make an up-armored M-60 in 15mm? Say like the Sabra package the Turks use?

Forget that, we need some Magach-6's ;)

I'm glad the mini is a bit bigger; with scale creep in the realm of 15mm bigger is better!

Looks to me as though the searchlight is a separate piece.

Looks like the searchlight is a separate piece. A quick google appears to show Egyptian, Greek and US National Guard A3s with searclights (assuming that they are correctly captioned photos).

The searchlight is a seperate peice and I assume leaving it off would make a A3 with the thermal sight.

Thanks
