$86 list shop is selling for $66. What is wrong with this kit? Been waiting forever for the early M60. Thanks for any links. Is it another Dragon mistake? Thanks.

Yes, it is. And I'm saying this despite the fact that my name is in the kit instructions...

Not as bad as their M60A2, but still far from good, I'm afraid.

So they didn't manage to improve on their awful first CAD shown of the kit?

What about the surface detail? Is it similar to the Dragon M48?

Would kit bashing this kit would with the AFV Club work? What parts would you need to use to make an improved initial M60.
