Academy M60 A1 Rise

Cheap but surprisingly detailed. The turret basket is built up from eight pieces. The L&L tracks are thin with good detail inside and out.

Road wheels painted with NATO green ready for black tyres. I know they should be greyish but dust and weathering will mute them.

Initial fit for the turret basket - it needs adjustment.

Initial work on the tracks rubber pads with Humbrol Matt Black

First coat of paint (Tamiya NATO Green) did not go down very well. Heat in the mancave and the nut holding the hairy stick probably contributed.

Detachable wheels and tracks to facilitate painting.

A second attempt at NATO Green.

Why aren’t all the pics showing? I re-sized them to much less than 2MB each…

Started on the wheels - lots of touch-up, corrections and mud needed after I paint the tracks
