T-60 UPDATE
By: Tank Mechanic


The specs on the real thing:2 man Soviet tank.Lightly armored and underpowered. Nicknamed "a coffin for 2 brothers". About 6000 produced, very few survived the war. Any German anti-tank weapon would take a T-60 out. Armed with a belt fed fully automatic 20mm main gun and 1 coaxial machine gun. Meant to be a scout tank and rarely used that way. Which accounts for the high mortality rate.

Specs on mine: Hull and turret shell are soldered sheet metal. Sprockets and main drive housing are machined aluminum. Paid someone to make from my masters in plastic. Track links are cast resin also made for me. Road and idler wheels were made from commercial caster wheels.









































Wow, it looks awesome my friend! Some fantastic work here all the way around. I've been anxiously awaiting an update on this cool project and you sure didn't disappoint! A great piece of 1/6th eye-candy, without a doubt! Special thanks for sending this outstanding project in and sharing it with us. - GL
