About the Model

A Ready-Made 1:87 / HO Artitec US M60A1 Olive Green Combat Ready with a heavily equipped field-service appearance. This detailed model features an olive green finish with black U.S. star markings, open hatch details, fine antennas, side and rear stowage, and extensive camouflage netting across the turret and main gun. The added equipment and weathered finish give the model a deployed, combat-ready look rather than a clean parade or factory-fresh appearance.

The model captures the classic M60A1 silhouette with its rounded turret, long 105 mm gun, prominent searchlight housing, rear turret bustle stowage, and exposed running gear. Subtle dry brushing, track wear, edge highlights, and dust effects help bring out the surface detail, making this version especially well suited for Cold War armor scenes, military rail loads, vehicle displays, and detailed HO-scale dioramas.

About the Real Thing

The M60A1 was an improved version of the American M60 main battle tank and became one of the most recognizable U.S. tanks of the Cold War. Introduced in the early 1960s, it featured a redesigned turret with improved armor protection, a 105 mm main gun, and upgrades intended to keep American armored units competitive during a period of rapid tank development.

M60A1 tanks served for decades with U.S. Army and Marine Corps units, as well as with many allied nations. During the Cold War, they formed a major part of NATO armored strength and were commonly seen in olive green or later camouflage finishes depending on unit, period, and operating environment. Their combination of firepower, mobility, and reliability made them a key bridge between earlier Patton-series tanks and the later M1 Abrams generation.

About Artitec Read-Made

Artitec’s ready-made models are authentically handcrafted, made from high-end resin. Each model is pre-assembled, painted by hand, and often subtly weathered to create a realistically aged look and feel. Models are unique collectables, manufactured in limited production runs.

  • Artitec models are made using plastic (resin) casting technique, under vacuum conditions. This allows for finer, to-scale details, unachievable by other methods. Small details are added by using etched brass parts.
  • These ready-made models are pre-assembled by experts. Assembling model kits can be time consuming and require significant effort to achieve high quality results.
  • Models are hand painted by disciplined artists. Painting and weathering models is not a quick activity, and requires years of refined skill. Perfect for customers looking for realism without the time commitment.
