Hi guys,

I'm in the process of making an M-60A1 and I want to display the searchlight while stored on the back of the stowagebasket.
Does anyone has soms good reference pictures of how it looks while stored ?

PS The model is an old M60A0 with the attachmentsbrackets on the back !!!!!

Not the best picture around, but here's one anyway :

Tou're welcome. Here's another picture showing the storage bracket :

If you take a look at the image immediately above, you can see what appear to be three balls located on the brackets (in the places where three holes are in the image above that). These are, in fact, standard trailer hitch balls and the search light has three trailer hitch ball sockets on the matching three mount points on the light. I have the manual for the M103 Heavy tank and it has the same light and mount.

Here's a picture showing 2 of these hitch balls on a M48A3 bracket :
