Are these AFV Club tracks correct for Tamiya's M60A3? I plan to build it as an Egyptian vehicle.

Also, is there a PE set for the turret basket to replace those old mesh things? All I could find were big PE sets, but I just need the basket parts.

I am pretty sure you are going to need these tracks for an Egyptian M60A3.

Those are the older style tracks used on M48s and early M60s. For an M60A3, you want the AFV Club T142 tracks.



Sorry, I don't know of any PE sets for just the turret basket.

Hi mate,

Building one now and I have used the AFV club tracks , take a bit of work but worth it.

That's a beautiful job you're doing on that M60, Dan... I'm afraid my work is in a totally different mediocre, mostly-out-of-the-box, league
