Tamiya 35157 1/35 U.S. Marine M60A1 with Reactive Armor - Kit Overview

The M60A1 is a widely recognised Cold War era main battle tank, fitted with the M68 105mm gun and a distinctive turret profile. Its various upgrades over time addressed survivability and battlefield requirements.

Reactive armour was fitted to some Marine M60A1s as a protection upgrade. Tamiya's 35157 recreates that upgraded silhouette and surface detail for an accurate scale build.

Accuracy and Modelling Highlights

Expect cleanly moulded parts that convey panel detail and fittings. The kit contains two crew figures and realistic track detailing to support a convincing static model.

Movable access hatches and a full decal sheet give options for open or closed presentation. The instruction manual includes painting and marking guides to help recreate service finishes.

To reach museum-quality finish you will need careful seam removal, priming, fine painting and weathering techniques; the kit provides the parts but finishing is up to the builder.
Yes, the commander and loader figures are made to match 1/35 scale proportions and are supplied ready for assembly and painting.
Tracks are modelled with realistic appearance but are static. They will enhance the display look but are not constructed to be mobile.
The kit is complete for a faithful build, though many modellers add photo-etch or metal barrels for finer detail depending on their standards.
