The tracks are rubber band style. But, the track end connect together with a single long pin and not the traditional male and female connectors that are melted or glued. A novel approach to not having a visible connection point.

The casting texture is the same as the M60A1 as the same common parts are used in the new M60A3/M60A3 TTS kit.

The Hoffman device, the turret mounted "kill" light, and the cupola .50 Cal blank firing adaptor are included in the kit. There are no MILES gear belts or sensors or control boxes included in the kit.

I got one from my LHS last week. Post some assembly manual pictures to highlight the difference to AFV Club M60A1. From the part list we can see most parts is from M60A1. However, no many parts left when finish the kit. (not include the wheels)

Not sure what the point of providing interior parts for the driver's position would be when those details can only be seen through a single small hatch
