Discover the Tamiya 35157 - 1/35 U.S. Marine M60A1 with Reactive Armor

The M60A1 tank has been a cornerstone of U.S. military might since its inception in the 1960s. Known for its formidable presence on the battlefield, this tank was a part of the U.S. armed forces' evolution to address the demands of modern warfare. The M60A1 variant, in particular, is celebrated for its M68 105mm main gun and distinctive turret design.

While the U.S. Marines have transitioned to the M1A1 Abrams, they enhanced their M60A1 tanks with reactive armor, resulting in the M60A1 + (plus) version. This modification improved the tank's defensive capabilities against modern threats. The Tamiya 35157 model kit captures these enhancements with precision, offering a rewarding build for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
