Product Description

[Major features]
-Post-war American masterpiece tank, rebuilt bridge tank based on M60 tank, M60 AVLB reproduced on 1/35 scale
-Based on the M60 kit released from Dragon and highly evaluated for finishing, a new mold is added and the upper body part and bridge part are set
-In addition to the frame structure of the bridge parts, the side bolts and tread surface details are firmly reproduced.
-Scissors-type bridge mechanism is also modeled in detail, ranging from hydraulic cylinders, lines, cables and socket assemblies
-It can be assembled in the middle position between the retracted state and the extended state, so it supports a wide range of scene settings.
-Realistic reproduction of the surface texture of the cast car body at the bottom of the car body
-Belt-type DS track for easy assembly
-Plenty of finish as well as reproduction of body shape and mechanical suspension parts
-In the part where the turret is removed, the two cupolas for the commander and operator are accurately modeled.
-Upper body parts of the kit are compatible with both M60A2 and M60 body AVLB

[About the actual vehicle]
-Tanks have been one of the weak points that hindered their mobility, such as grooves, rivers and rivers that exceeded the length of the track since its introduction.
-Engineers set up bridges to deal with them, but it was the bridge tank, AVLB, that was developed as higher mobility was required.
-Use the tank body and change it to a turret or other weapon on top of it.
-Advancing to the front line, we established a bridge that allows tanks to pass quickly.
-The M60AVLB, a bridging tank deployed by the US military, was one of them, an M60 based vehicle in 1967 and an M60A1 based vehicle in 1987.
-The turret is removed based on the M60 series body, and the bridge is folded in half.
-After arriving at the site, a scissors-type mechanism was adopted that extended the bridge with a hydraulic piston to the opposite bank.
-The extended bridge was about 19m long, about 4m wide and had a payload of 60 tons.
-In addition to being active in the Gulf War of 1991 and 2003, it was deployed and operated not only in the US Army but also in Israel, Pakistan, Singapore, etc.

[About the model]
-The model is a plastic model assembly kit that reproduces M60AVLB on a 1/35 scale, a masterpiece tank after the war, a bridge tank modified based on the M60 tank.
-Each type has already been lined up from Dragon, and a new mold has been added based on the M60 kit, which has been highly evaluated for its finish, and the upper body part and bridge part are combined.
-In addition to the frame structure of the bridge parts, the side bolts and tread surface details are firmly reproduced.
-In addition, the scissors-type bridge mechanism has been modeled in detail, including hydraulic cylinders, lines, cables, and socket assemblies.
-It can be assembled in the middle position between the retracted state and the extended state, so it supports a wide range of scene settings.
-Realistic reproduction of the surface texture of the cast car body at the bottom of the car body. Along with the reproduction of its shape and mechanical suspension parts, the finish is fully felt.
-In addition, the belt-type DS track is easy to assemble in the crawler belt.
-In the part where the turret is removed, the two cupolas for the commander and operator are accurately modeled.
-A model with a strong presence with a bridge is a must for military fans.
-The upper body parts of the kit are compatible with both M60A2 and M60 AVLB.
