Magach 6B Gal / M60A1 of IDF
Hello,
I would like to introduce one of my actual projects to you : the Magach 6B Gal. Tis project has a very long history; I startet the design 15 years ago. In the meantime there where some attempts to build a lower hull (of course without any success ...) and the long breaks again.
Now I want to finish this project, because the M60 is my favourite tank worldwide. This is the original Magach tank :
Here are some pictures showing the actual progress :

Very exciting project. I have plans for a simple Magach 3 Blazer based on the 1/18 M48A3 from Ultimate Soldier (RC mod similar to my M48 Vietnam build) but this is so much more complex. If a kit was coming out, I would probably have 5 of them on the shelf.

I would settle for just one.

Yes, I also agree ... if a Tamiya kit M60 coming out, I would order 3 or 5. There are also M728, M60A2 an MICLIC in my brain

Hello,
I continue to work on the M60.
This is the bottom view of the turret drive. I use the HengLong drive with 360°-gear :
The front of the upper hull is not yet finished :
Main gun installation with recoil unit :
The first try for the commander's cupola :

Hi Karl,
I received the info on the turret, thank you.
What barrel are you planning to use?

Hi Barry,
look here for the main gun barrel :

I will add the thermal sleeve by using 3d-print-parts.
