Super Patton?

This rather imposing thing is the Academy  1/48 scale M-60A1.  Intended, like so many kits in this scale, as a motorised toy it actually builds into rather a nice model.  Needless to say I didn't bother with the motorised gubbins which went straight in the bin, probably halving the build time.
The paintwork is my poor attempt at the 1970s MERDC pattern.

The (enormous) kit box which now features - like so many things in my life a a light overspray of green paint....

    My not very well balanced US forces currently amount to a platoon each of tanks, AA and AT, three helicopters but only two infantry platoons!

    Armoured reinforcement for your French contingent?

    Cheers,

    My French recently received additional Panhard AMLs and AMX-13s so they're still by far the strongest contingent in our Multi-national task force!

    Looks a war winner. The colours for MERDC look on target.

    I may have some more US troops for you as well as the Bulldog.
