M-60 HVMS Sherman, circa 2002

This is a model of a Chilean Army M-60 HVMS Sherman. The Chileans bought about 60 ex-Israeli M50 Shermans and regunned them with an Israeli developed 60mm hyper velocity gun. The gun has a penetration capability roughly equal to the L7 105mm used on many modern AFVs. They also re-engined these tanks with a new diesel power pack (note the odd exhaust on the right side of the engine deck).

The model is a kitbash consisting of parts from Tamiya, DML, Academy, Aber, Eduard, Verlinden and a whole lot of scratchbuilding.
