"slick" M60 photos needed

[DeathDealer6]

Does anyone have good photos of the "forgotten" M60? I build "modern" 1/35 scale armor kits and have decided to tackle a theme showing the development of the tank I'm most familiar with. I'm backdating an M60A1 kit to an M60 and would like to get the markings correct. Most of my references have one or two grainy photos of the 60 and then move directly into the M60A1/M60A2/M60A3 or focus more on the Israeli upgrades (many of the M60's they used were so covered up with ERA you can't even tell they aren't A1s)
thanks for any possible help.


When I'm done with my "project" I hope to have:
M60 - Germany?
M60A1 with dozer blade - 4th ID '78/79 B/4-40 Armor Blade tank from the company I served in, it was attached to my platoon for maintenance and training)
M60A2 Germany mid 70's
M60A3 Germany '83/84 D/5-68 Armor D-66, my tank while I was Company Commander
Israeli Magach 6 with mine roller

and then possibly add a USMC M60A1 with ERA from Desert Shield or an Israeli Magach 6 Batash or try to scratch build an M60 120S that General Dynamics was trying to sell to Turkey.

There were a couple of photos of M60s in the files for the vehicle ID quiz on this site. I don't have the current passwords to access them.

I've probably seen them. If I recall correctly, one was a museum outdoor display in pretty poor shape. I'd really like to find some of the more typical photos of in use tanks at gunnery or on exercise. It seems that most of the focus during the early '60's was on the M48s in Viet Nam rather than on the M60's in Europe.

Here's a couple of websites that have M60 photos.
