Tamiya Plastic Model Kit
U.S. M60A3 105mm Gun Tank (1/35) 35140
This 1/35 scale kit depicts the M60A3, the final and most refined version of America’s long-serving M60 series main battle tank. Introduced in the late Cold War era, the M60A3 benefited from upgrades such as improved fire-control systems, enhanced optics and reliability improvements that strengthened its position as a core armoured asset for U.S. and allied forces. Tamiya’s model captures the tank’s solid, purposeful form with crisp moulding and well-defined armour surfaces.
The kit includes a detailed turret with its distinctive M68 105mm main gun, along with accurately reproduced external fittings such as stowage racks, smoke dischargers and auxiliary equipment. Suspension and roadwheel assemblies are sharply rendered, while the hull and turret textures provide a realistic foundation for finishing and weathering. The model offers a balanced, straightforward build that results in a faithful representation of this important Cold War vehicle.

The M60A3 entered service as an evolutionary upgrade of the earlier M60 variants, carrying forward a proven hull design while incorporating modern electronics and improved fire-control technology. It served widely with U.S. forces through the 1980s and early 1990s, later transitioning to allied militaries around the world. Its dependable performance and robust construction made it a key presence during the latter decades of the Cold War, bridging the gap between earlier American tank doctrine and the next generation of armoured fighting vehicles.
