What do you mean? The chevron track was standard on M60s until the mid 1970s. Both the US Army schemes in the Afv-club kit should have chevron track since both tanks are early to mid 1970s. In fact the 69th armored one looks similar to the picture on the cover of the old Squadron M60 in Action book.

Though the color names given are a little dubious. But I find that with all color names in Afv-club instructions.

You're looking for the pre-merdc schemes of the 1970s. Posters tend to get very pedantic spewing out acronyms and designations that confuse rather than clarify.

The US Army schemes in the M60A1 instructions are supposed to be MASSTER schemes of the 1970s. They would have chevron track and side loading air cleaners. Those tanks were just on the cusp of the modifications that would make hex track and top loading air cleaners standard.

The Tankograd book on MASSTER and MERDC should have pictures. I have stuff published on M60s back in the 1970s like AFV-G2 magazine, IPMS quarterly and the aforementioned squadron title when all this current and in use

So does this mean the 3rd battalion, 3rd armored division option C (As well as the one on the cover of the Patton in action book) and the 69th armored regiment option D should have the same color scheme, instead of what AFV Club calls out?

Sorry to hijack your post Shalta, but finding information on the 69th armored regiment option has been a problem for me too.

The thing is that the colors for those schemes are problematic. They often were painted using commercially available paint so finding fs numbers is hard. There may not be any. You need a color picture and best match wins.

But the names are funny. What they call orange lining is in fact a 19th century uniform facing color in the Humbrol line. The tank was probably a a reddish earth color.

The 69th armored in the 1970s would be 1/69 attached to the 3ID in Germany or 2/69 in the 197th Brigade in Georgia or the 4/69 in the 8th ID in Germany.

Most likely to be a US Army Europe vehicle in that scheme. I know this has been discussed beforearlier in regards to the kit.

8th infantry division, 4th of the 69th armored. It does have the cover on the searchlight. And on that cover is the battalion crest. Crests are also on the front corner of the turret.

The other tank has the battalion crest of the 32d armor on a plate on the bustle rack.

In case it matters HQ-50 might be the battalion commander's tank. B-66 would be Bravo company commander's tank.

Except when in use the cover was usually kept on the light. It was a piece of grayish olive drab canvas ( as opposed to brown olive drab)
