A little late now, but, nice build! Amazed of ypur free hand use of the airbrush without masking. Can I ask you the exact brand and model of airbrush? Some time ago build an M60A2 "old classic" from Esci. This model is absolutely superior even than 2004 Revell version. To simulate the cast I put a small amount of ultra thin glue and stipled the surface using a very stiff brush, since the detail was so soft I was worried about being totally erased. Final step was small sanding using a fiberglass pencil. That 80s look is amazing! Greetings from Argentina
I was a hull mechanic for the M60A3 tanks at Ft. Stewart, Georgia (4-64 Armor). We then got the M1IP Abrams. I wish Rye Field or Takom would make a 1/16 scale M60A3 with full interior. I have the Rye Field M1 tank full interior. It seems German and US WWII armor.
I too wish we had an M60 interior! I haven't seen any kits that have it and not much aftermarket for it. I'm a big fan of the M60 and I hope to eventually do a kit of the crewman. I might mod3l it after the guys at 6/68th armor.
The model looks great Peter! The weathering alone was a big help for me. Some things that might help are the opening under the commander's cupola are for the spent shell casings from the 12.7mm mg to be ejected from the cupola. Don't worry too much about the camouflage pattern as the patterns were applied by the units according to official patterns in a book so no two tanks were exactly the same and touch ups would render the sprayed patterns with a hard edge. Thanks for sharing this neat tutorial.
This turned out great! I cant wait to build my M60 set

comments like yours are one of the few reasons I haven't given up on this yt channel. Thank you
Great Video.
I am quite sure some tanks had this kind of texture. Unfortunatly nobody took a picture of them so you can't find one on the internet. 😉
