The M60A3 and M1 Abrams were the mainstay of U.S. tank forces during the 1980s. The turret, too, was manufactured from cast iron, and was mounted with a 105mm gun with thermal sleeve to provide protection from barrel distortion.
The Tamiya 35140 Scale 1/35 U.S. M60A3 105mm Gun Tank Model Kit would be the best fit for individuals looking to add a model of a classic tank to their collection.
