I have finished the construction of the M60 power pack with the help of a friend of Facebook.I tried to make a little more realistic this old Verlinden kit which he presented several deficiencies concerning many details especially in the lower part.Of course using plasticard copper wires and small telephone cables and some parts from my bank of broken pieces from other kits I managed to achieve a result satisfactory to me.

perfection ...

It looks fantastic-- well done, and it will go wonderfully with your M60 hull with the pack removed. As I recall, the basic engine housing was painted a gloss white, the ducting was a burnished bare aluminum, including the "accordion" air intake/blower connectors, which were segmented so they could rotate and expand to connect. The insulating blankets on the piping had a kind of grayish braided wire metallic look. Of course the whole thing would have been oily and dirty, unless it was a brand new pack. There were also some electrical "pigtail" connectors that connected the electronics to the hull electrical system, I don't see them in your model-- and I can't remember where they were after all these years. It was a great thrill to see the real thing in a "test" before the pack was re-installed in the hull-- we'd hook them up to a test stand and run them and watch the final drives turn-- if everything went well, we'd drop it in and button up the rear deck-- which is what we used to position the pack on during maintenance.

Looks great! Now, can you find a method to scan this into a 3-D printer format?

Thanks Jim for your great comment but I do not know a method to do this in 3D.
