Why this kit matters
The M60A2 "Starship" was an American main battle tank developed during the Cold War era. It was known for its unique low-profile turret and the 152mm gun-launcher, which could fire both conventional rounds and guided missiles. Although innovative for its time, the M60A2 faced several technical challenges and was eventually phased out of service. Its design, however, paved the way for future advancements in tank technology.
This model kit allows you to recreate a piece of military history in detailed miniature. The M60A2 represents a fascinating chapter in tank development, showcasing the ambition and challenges of Cold War-era engineering. Building this kit provides an engaging and educational experience for modellers interested in military vehicles.
