Together with the M1 Abrams, the M60A3 formed the core of U.S. tank forces during the 1980s. It featured a cast iron chassis that was inherited from the M48 tanks that first appeared in the 1950s, and was powered by a super-charged air-cooled diesel. The turret, too, was manufactured from cast iron, and was mounted with a 105mm gun with thermal sleeve to provide protection from barrel distortion. Other technologically-advanced additions at the time included a laser based rangefinder and ballistic computer, allowing the M60A3 to pack a fearsome punch. Production began in 1978, and the 3,600 examples produced went on to fulfil a leading military role for in excess of 20 years. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 264mm, Width: 104mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe turret depicts the cast iron finish of the real tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe model can be assembled with or without thermal sleeve attached to the main gun.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModelers can choose to construct the model with open or closed crew hatch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe driver's hatch is movable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic suspension is recreated using separate parts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 sets of markings and a commander figure are included with the kit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TAMIYA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44688356475016,"sku":"T35140","price":49.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0650\/3150\/4008\/files\/T35140-1.jpg?v=1768879527","url":"https:\/\/hobbiesonline.com.au\/products\/tamiya-35140-1-35-tamiya-u-s-m60a3-tank","provider":"Hobbies Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
