This 1:35 scale model represents the distinctive M60A2 “Starship”, a futuristic variant of the U.S. Army’s M60 main battle tank, developed in the 1970s to combine innovative technology and heavy firepower.
The M60A2 was equipped with the 152 mm M162 gun/launcher, capable of firing both conventional rounds and MGM-51 Shillelagh guided missiles, providing exceptional anti-armor capability. Its low-profile turret housed advanced optics and fire-control systems for its time.
The Academy kit features finely engraved surface details, a fully rotatable turret, individual track links, accurate interior details, and realistic optical sensors.
High-quality decals allow for U.S. Army vehicles stationed in Europe or the continental United States, with olive drab or NATO tri-color camouflage.
A fascinating and detailed model that captures the technological ambition of the U.S. armored forces during the Cold War.
