Confession time: I love the M60A2. I know the gun/missile system was a bust and they were over complicated. I know the vehicles were pretty much relegated to REFORGER sites, but they are just so cool looking. It was like the Army wanted to take a moment and pretend they were making "future-tanks!" before returning to their standard configuration with the M60A3.
I got these off of eBay, and five of them had a European three-tone scheme. I added the sand and black lines to make them look a little more like Winter Verdant, as I can't find any photos of this tank in anything but basic Green and MERDC schemes.
The other four are in a Summer Verdant scheme that really brings out that Carter era malaise-y goodness. You can almost imagine a crewman returning to a burnt-orange and lemon yellow house, to enjoy a couple Billy beers on a Avocado green couch while admiring his blue shag carpet.
