1/72 M60A2 "Starship"???

[SinUnNombre]

Hey everyone. The Humvee is on hold due to a bad eBay experience, and I'm looking into other projects. I have the RoG M60 with ERA, and I think an A2 turret with the ERA would look great. Maybe dual 40mm Bofors from an M247. Anyway, is there a kit 1/72 kit out of the A2? I looked on eBay and couldn't find one, but that doesn't always mean there isn't one. Thanks for all your help.

Jon,
ESCI did the Starship version back in the day.  The kit hasn't been rereleased by Italeri and not sure if it is on their radar or not.

Sure there are some out there on the market.

Quick search on evilbay turned 1 up going for $4.95

Have seen the early M60 A2 with the 155 short barrell fitted to a standard turret if thats any use.

Of course an A2 tuuet would be an ideal basis for some AA version.

Thanks for the link, Phil. I'm watching that auction closely, and if the price stays low late I'll try to pick it up. And Thorvic, that's my plan. I plan on adding the dual Bofors mount and radar greeblies from a Sgt. York. I'll probably put ERA too, in case it needs to be used in an urban environment for infantry support. Speaking of, how bout an M247 Sgt. York in 1/72 scale?
