This is a rebuild/repair/update that I did to an M60A1 Rise Passive that I originally built back in 1981! It was built using the OLD Tamiya kit from the 1970s, and featured a totally rebuilt exterior, a scratch built interior, and operated by remote control using a hand held control box that could be disconnected from the tank.

The model was dropped and destroyed in 2001. After seeing the great work done by gunnytank (the only other full interior I had ever seen) I decided to restore it to its full glory, while selectively upgrading it to more modern standards.

Brave Rifles! Unfortunately I was in a god awful air defense unit during desert storm at Ft. Hood, managed to make it into 1st Cav then the freaking war ended. Did my last year with 1/32 Armor, but it was a great year
