During the early 90's it became apparent that new opfor (opposing force) tank was required for training by the royal orcadies army. After some searching it was decided to buy 15 M60A3 from the USA the tanks ended up being gifted to the orcadies armed forces as they were redundant stocks anyway.

After some modifications witch included new battle simulation equipment sensors and a new paint job the tanks were deployed on to the south ronaldsay ranges to act as opfor by the duty armoured regiment.

Here is the model it is a 1/72 scale revel M60A3.

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?
