Product Summary for Tamiya 35157 1/35 U.S. Marine M60A1 Reactive Armor

The M60A1 has been a durable platform in armoured forces, recognised for its 105mm M68 main gun and distinctive turret. Its service record includes numerous upgrades to meet changing battlefield demands.

Marine units that upgraded their M60A1s with reactive armour improved protection against shaped charges and newer threats. Tamiya's 35157 reproduces that upgrade accurately for display and diorama work.

Detailing and Assembly Notes

Moulded components show panel lines and fittings meant to match the original vehicle. The kit contains lifelike figures for crew placement and detailed tracks that enhance the static presentation.

Movable hatches allow open or closed display options, and the included waterslide decals and painting guide support accurate finish and marking choices.

Is this kit suitable for dioramas?

Yes, the kit's crew figures, reactive armour detail and accessory parts make it well suited for operational or vignette dioramas.

Can the barrel be upgraded?

Many builders replace the plastic barrel with a turned-metal aftermarket barrel for crisper detail, though the kit barrel is accurate for most displays.

Are decals suitable for weathering?

Waterslide decals in the kit respond well to setting solutions and sealing coats, allowing realistic weathering and chipping effects.

Do the tracks allow movement?

Tracks are modelled for authentic appearance on a static build and are not designed to be functional running tracks.
