Are there any available resin interior sets for an M60-A1?

I used a set that featured the engine which also had the interior for the engine compartment as well. As to the turret, I would suggest checking out Verlinden as that is who made the aforementioned kit.

Nope! (dont think so..) Verlinden and Hobby fan both make engine sets. Go check out the Missing-lynx.com gallery, under the mdoern vehicles section and Korean guy has scratch built a full interior for an M60 and its pretty stunning. There would be a lot of work invloved and it would take a lot of research indeed. Verlindens warmachines book is a good starting point.

Thanks for the heads up there. I agree. He did a great job on the interior. It has been a long time since I crammed my bulk into a M60 series tank, but it looks more like a M60-A3. But I don't think I am willing to spend the next year and a half scratchbuilding the insides. I need to work down the stash a little. Besides that, I no longer have my M60 TMs.

You might try to do just alittle scratching on it like the TC hatch area, get a round pattern piece for the turret floor, add a few upgrade pieces to the rear of the cannon, that way you could have a hatch open display

I never found an after market interior so I scratch built mine. I have the TM and a bunch of pics. If you need any help let me know. email is: [email protected]
I also just did a build article of my COMPLETE M60, It includes pics of the inside. Now I'm waiting for them to post the article.

Don,
Was that your M60A1 at IPMS Nats last weekend - the one with the guys working on the transmission??? If so, AWESOME build. Let us know what mag it is being published in, so I can get it if it is not one of the usual purchases... I would have liked to see it with the dome lights on but, I guess that I can not have everything...

I have a book on the M-60 Series with tons of pics. Let me know if I can be of any assistance. I can scan. (I think)

John,
That was my M60A1 at Anaheim with the crew trying to find the fuel leak. Thanks for the compliment. I posted it right here on Armorama a couple of days ago. Now we just have to wait until they post it. I signed up for this site a long time ago but never really looked around in it until 2 days ago. I was begining to think that no one liked my tank. It was my first real contest and the judges "reclassed" my tank to a diorama. I came home and looked for pics of my tank on the web. This is the only site that posted a pic of my tank. I'm thrilled take you like it. I took pics of the inside before I glued the turret together. I will post pics to my profile this weekend, here on Armorama. If you still want to see the LED's on, then I will take a picture and send it to you. Again Thanks,
Don
