M60 A3

M60 A3 M60 A3

Von Mitte bis Ende der 50er Jahre entwickelt, wurde der M60

im Jahre 1960 in seiner ursprünglichen Form bei der US Army

als Nachfolger für den M48 eingeführt. Ab Oktober 1962 ging

die mit einem verbesserten Turm und als M60 A1 bezeichnete

Version in die Serienfertigung, die dann ab Mai 1980 durch die

Herstellung des M60 A3 abgelöst wurde. Nach der Einführung

des M60 A3 wurde auch eine erhebliche Anzahl der M60 A1

auf den Rüststand A3 nachgerüstet. Der M60 A3 wurde von

einem 12-Zylinder Continental AVDS-1790-2C Dieselmotor an-

getrieben, der eine Leistung von 750 PS bei 2.400 U/min ent-

wickelte und dem M60 A3 eine Höchstgeschwindigkeit von bis

zu 48 km/h auf der Straße ermöglichte. Das Fahrzeug konnte

2,59 m breite Gräben überschreiten, bewältigte 60-prozentige

Steigungen und war in der Lage - nach kurzer Vorbereitungs-

zeit - 2,40 m tiefe Gewässerhindernisse zu durchwaten. Das

Gefechtsgewicht betrug 52.617 kg, die Besatzung bestand aus

Kommandant, Richtschütze, Ladeschütze und Fahrer.

Anstelle des stereoskopischen Entfernungsmessers seines Vor-

gängers wurde der M60 A3 u. a. mit einem Laser-Entfernungs-

messer und einem M 21 Feuerleitrechner sowie einem Wärme-

bild-Ziel- und Beobachtungsgerät ausgerüstet. Dazu kamen

eine Waffenstabilisierungsanlage und ein Querwindsensor. Die

M 68 105 mm Bordkanone wurde mit einer Wärmeschutzhül-

le versehen, als koaxiales MG fungierte nunmehr ein 7,62 mm

M 240. Die um 360 Grad drehbare Kommandantenkuppel mit

dem 12,7 mm Fla-MG wurde unverändert übernommen. Als

Kampfsatz wurden 63 105 mm Patronen, 900 12,7 mm Patro-

nen und 6.000 7,62 mm Patronen im Fahrzeug mitgeführt. Eine

automatische Halon-Feuerlöschanlage und eine Nebelmittel-

wurfanlage, bestehend aus jeweils sechs Bechern pro Turmsei-

te, komplettierten die Ausrüstung, der bis in die 90er Jahre bei

der US-Army im Dienst stehenden Fahrzeuge.

Developed from the middle to the end of the ﬁ fties, the M60

was introduced into the US army in its original form in 1960 as

successor to the M48. In October 1962 the version known as

the M60 A2 with improved turret went into production, to be

superseded by the M60 A3 in May 1980. After the introduction

of the M60 A3 a considerable number of M60 A1s were taken

out of retirement and upgraded to A3. The M60 A3 was dri-

ven by a 12 cylinder Continental AVDS-1790-2C diesel engine

that developed 750 bhp at 2,400 rpm, giving the M 60 A3 a

maximum road speed of 48 km/h. The vehicle could cross 2.59

m wide trenches, 60% gradients and, after a brief preparati-

on, could ford water obstacles 2.40 m deep. It had a combat

weight of 52.617 kg and was crewed by commander, gunner,

loader and driver.

Instead of the stereoscopic range-ﬁ nder of its predecessor,

the M60 A3 was equipped with a laser range-ﬁ nder and an

M 21 computerised ﬁ re control system together with thermal

imaging aiming and tracking equipment. In addition it had a

weapon stabilisation system and a cross-wind sensor. The M68

105 mm cannon was equipped with a thermal sleeve, it now

had a 7.62 mm M 240 acting as coaxial MG. The commander’s

cupola with 360° traverse and 12.7 mm Fla-MG was taken over

unchanged. In action, 63 x 105 mm cartridges, 900 x 12.7 mm

cartridges and 6,000 x 7.62 mm cartridges were carried in the

vehicle. An automatic halon ﬁ re extinguisher system and smoke

projectile system consisting of six dischargers on each side of

the turret, made up the equipment of these vehicles, which

remained in service with the US army into the nineties.

Should I paint my Revell model before or after it is built? Verified

Revell recommends painting it before building it. In some cases it is smart to partially assemble pieces if they all need to be painted in the same colour.
