FOV 1/32 M60 Patton review?

Post by dragon53 » Wed Oct 08, 2008 11:30 am

I'm thinking of buying FOV's 1/32 M60 Patton in NATO camouflage.
Does anyone own the M60 and want to give a review of it?

(I've never seen the M60 model at a retailer---only in etailer photos so I would like owner comments about it.)

Great tank. One of my favorites. Sturdy construction, good details, especially the drilled out hand-holds. High point would include the reactive armor: very detailed, precise. Good paint scheme, comes with gun lock. Low points would include somewhat crude running gear, so-so figure tank commander. A bit unweathered, in my opinion.
Overall, worth getting! Here's one.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know Target.com sold the M60---the reactive armor looks really good on the model.

I really like the M-60 and DK is correct, the reactive armor really looks good. This is one of the FOV releases where I don't think it is worth the extra $$ to get the enthusiast edition. I would recommend getting the action series and saving a few bucks. Get it, you won't be disappointed. 8)
