Introducing the Tamiya 35157 1/35 U.S. Marine M60A1 with Reactive Armour

The M60A1 played a pivotal role in armoured formations from the 1960s onward, known for its M68 105mm gun and characteristic turret shape. Its upgrades and variants reflect evolving protection needs on modern battlefields.

Some Marine M60A1s received reactive armour to counter emerging threats, resulting in the upgraded appearance reproduced by this kit. The Tamiya 35157 captures those external changes for an accurate scale representation.

Build Quality and Realism

Parts are crisply moulded to represent panels, fittings and suspension detail. The kit supplies realistic track segments and two crew figures to populate a display scene, allowing modellers to achieve convincing results.

Included movable hatches and clear decal sheets let builders present either closed or open configurations. Detailed painting instructions help replicate authentic markings and operational finishes.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Plastic
  • Includes: Commander and loader figures
  • Features: Movable driver's hatch, reactive armor plates
  • Extras: Waterslide decals, plastic mesh for turret basket
Assembly time varies by experience, but expect several sessions for careful fit, painting and detailing to reach a high standard.
Aftermarket firms offer metal barrels, photo-etch sets and upgrade tracks that can enhance accuracy, though the kit is complete for a faithful build out of the box.
Tracks are modelled for static realism and do not articulate; modellers often pose the hull and bogies to suggest movement instead.
