Would the AFV M60/48 T142 workable tracks be appropriate for the M60 Starship? Also looking at photos it appears that the lightening holes on the drive sprocket are straight across, not tapered(wider at one end). If someone could confirm this I would be grateful. Thanks.

Yes, later model M60A2s had T-142 tracks on them.


The sprockets are standard M60 sprockets with tapered lightening holes. It may be the angle of the pic or something that makes them look straight.

What colour is the tank painted with? Looks quite dark.

My A2,was a forest-y green darker than OD.
We transitioned from the chevron track to T142' in Sept.77.
