Tom asked me to hang these neat pics up on the Board, here they are.
I will leave the description of this well done M-60 and bridge to him.

THe tank I believe is an M-60 from the Ultimate Soldier series.
The pontoon bridge is actually a table top exercise built for the Army Engineers. I horse traded it from another collector. No real date on the box but I assume from Korea to Vietnam era.
However these bridges were used from WW-II on.
The scale is perfect and would make a good museum display.

Models..
Very cool. I love armor models. Built many a tank during my youth. My oldest son has taken an interest in building models, and can put together 400+ piece lego models like you wouldn't believe. He got a Lego coast guard chopper for Xmas. It had about 450 pieces. He had it completely together literally in an hour.

I too, built scale models for awhile. I prefer German armor from WWII and built a 1/24 scale Panther, and a 1/24 Tiger I. I also built a 1/35 Berge Panther and a 1/35 Berge Tiger (tracked recovery vehicles).On the Allied side I built a 1/24 Russian T34/85.
I also still have to this day a half dozen 1/35 model cars I built as a kid of 13- '40 Ford coupe, '40 Willys coupe, '37 Chevy coupe, '54 Chevy Hi-Boy, '57 Chevy drag car, and a '64 Chevy with the 409.
I've gotten out of building models-detailing them has become too difficult for my aging eyes, and the M37 is always a handful!

M-37 Bruce, what is the story on the M-60 tank ? Is it on loan to your association ? Is it deactivated or running ?
