Academy 13296 - 1/35 Scale M60A2 Patton Model

The Academy 13296 delivers an accurate plastic rendition of the US M60A2 Patton at 1/35 scale, with crisp panel lines and parts that reflect the tank's distinctive silhouette. Modellers will find the kit suitable for careful build work and accurate finishing.

Operational Background and Weapon System

The M60A2 was fielded during the Cold War era and featured a 152mm gun-launcher system that combined traditional shells with guided missile capability. This model captures the external features linked to that hybrid weapon arrangement.

Build Notes and Presentation

Putting the Academy 13296 together requires patient assembly of small components such as turret fittings and road wheels. Properly painted and weathered, the finished model stands out in a display case or diorama focused on late 20th century armoured vehicles.
