There is nothing like opening a sealed box of Legend Productions resin. It’s a lot like opening a can of Zip Strip. You have to open it and walk away. Once you get past the smell, you are always greeted by some of the best looking resin products on the market. If you are a tread head and don’t know who Legend Productions are then you need to come out from whatever rock you have been hiding under. They have been in business for quite some time. I first got into their products because they were one of the first resin manufacturers producing Israeli Army modifications. I bought my first Legend Productions kit, the Sherman Ambulance Conversion, and have been hooked ever since. They make over 160 conversion/accessory sets in 1/35 scale, figures and accessories, and also cover the other scales and venues with assorted conversions.

I purchased this particular set simply because I got it for a great deal. While I have never seen photographs of M60A1 tanks with sandbags on the front glacis plate, I am sure it has happened. The only downside of any of the Legend Productions I have purchased and used is the occasional thick resin pour lug. Sometimes, the attachment point is quite fragile and care must be taken when removing it.

Inside this box is a zip lock bag wrapped in bubble warp, a sheet of fifteen new MREs, and a one inch by 4 inch sheet of lead. The good stuff is in the zip lock bag and contains the following:

  • 2 x Kevlar Helmets
  • 2 x CVC Helmets
  • 2 x Binoculars
  • 6 x .50 ammunition cans
  • 3 x 20mm ammunition cans
  • 4 x Large rucksacks
  • 2 x Large rucksacks with sleeping pad, canteen, e-tool, and protective mask attached
  • 1 x Large rucksack with sleeping pad
  • 2 x E-tools
  • 3 x One quart canteens
  • 2 x Duffle bags with shoulder straps
  • 1 x Duffle bag no shoulder straps
  • 5 x Five gallon water cans
  • 2 x Stuffed wet weather bags
  • 3 x covered piles
  • 4 x sleeping pads
  • 1 x three piece section T-142 track
  • 1 x folded cot
  • 2 x .50 wooden ammunition crate
  • 3 x metal boxes
  • 1 x Open case MREs
  • 2 x Individual MREs
  • 3 x Stuffed and squished wet weather bags
  • 1 x Ice Chest
  • 1 x Large beverage cooler
  • 1 x Duffle bag attached to 105mm ammunition crate
  • 2 x Steel road wheels…one filled with stuff and one empty
  • 3 x Different sized rolled bundles
  • 1 x Looks like a first generation stuff sack filled with stuff
  • 2 x Five gallon oil cans
  • 3 x Looks like metal cook pots
  • 1 x Metal bucket
  • 4 x Different sized folded up tarps
  • 5 x Different sized sand bag armor arrays…one for the front glacis and the other three for the turret
That is a lot of stuff to deck out any modern military vehicle. This is a really sweet set for all you modern armor fans. I would like to thank Legends for making great resin products, my wonderful wife Jerry for allowing me to buy them and IPMS/USA for the site to display this for all the M60A1 tank fans.

Remember, have fun….build a tank.
