Modern American Armour 2

The attention to detail and true 1/150 will put Pendraken out there as market leader in the modern era AFVs and APCs.

Yeah for the M60A1! I'm an old dinotank who spent years on the M60A1 and A3. Despite all the glamour of the M1, the US Army had more A1s in service in 1985 than any other tank.

Yes, the turret elevation mechanism was hydraulic. The red "cherry juice" hydraulic oil ignited pretty easily and was replaced with green oil that had a higher flash point, but it would still burn. I had the dubious pleasure of bailing out of 2 A1s: 1 from a fire in the rear hull and 1 from the hydraulic oil igniting. Despite that, the tank was rugged, reliable and a joy to shoot. The A3 was more accurate due to that thermal sights and advanced fire controls, but I preferred shooting the A1 because it was more dependent on the skill of the crew.

Looking forward to adding these to my 1980 forces.
