Robin, you came up with a solution so readily that one would think....

I'm thrilled. There are two tanks that would make me break my rule to not buy any new kits until I've put a dent in my stash. This and a T-80 by any of my favorite brands is one of them. It seems to have taken a long time to get here, and I've been checking since Takom did the first M60 variant. And then there was another one. And then finally this one. Couldn't be happier about it. Would anyone have a guess on a release date?

While nothing official, "The Modeling News" website is giving a release date of April/May for these four kits. The Merkava Mk.2D tentatively has the next stock number, so I suspect it will be first released followed by the M60A1 if the two are not released at the same time. However, time will tell.

Actaually the Dragon M48s are pretty good models with only a few, easily corrected issues. M48A1 Review M48A3 Mod B Review Their M60 series is another animal; pretty bad to say the least.[/quote] Thanks for the info. Sounds worth get a hold of.

Letting two kits share one box is another possibility .... There is usually enough space in the boxes.

That M60 cover art is amazing.

I dunno this. Takoma will be releasing a Chieftan and FV432 together in 1/72nd Cheers Charlie

Aren't we some bad, bad boys...!?
