It is such a cool beast so there is no shame in building many of them Just make them slightly different ....

Hmmm... I guess there is always the option to do one with the 0.50 cal on the mantlet and one with the armor blocks on.

Excellent news! I like the Academy kit but at the end of the day it is based on 30+ year old Tamiya molds.

Maybe a Magach 7C next?

NICE! Now if they make M60's variants the way they make Panthers, things are looking good for the M60 fans.

Indeed! I’m still waiting for that Merkava Mk.2D that appears in the background of their Mk.4M boxart...

I just bought this kit and noticed one thing: not only are the engine grills (back and top) separate but the bolt heads for the final drives on the inside of the hull present. Could it be that a power pack from Meng will be seen in the future?
