Dragon 3591 M60 AVLB Armored Vehicle Launched Bridge 1/35 – Plastic model kit of an engineering vehicle

The Dragon 3591 M60 AVLB model in 1/35 scale is an exceptional offer for advanced military modellers seeking unique and realistic engineering support vehicles from the Cold War era. This kit depicts the famous American tracked bridge layer, the M60 AVLB (Armored Vehicle Launched Bridge), used by the United States Armed Forces and NATO countries.

The M60 AVLB is a heavy vehicle based on the chassis of the popular M60 Patton tank. Its most important feature is the ability to quickly deploy an 18.3-meter-long bridge, allowing for efficient crossing of terrain obstacles such as anti-tank ditches or smaller rivers. The AVLB played a key role in many NATO maneuvers and during military operations in the last quarter of the 20th century, including Operation Desert Storm, among others.

• Scale: 1/35
• Country of use: United States and NATO allies
• Period of use: Cold War (from late 1960s to the present with various modifications)
• Category: plastic model kit
• Material: high quality plastic (polystyrene)

The Dragon 3591 M60 AVLB set is a precise reproduction of the vehicle, featuring accurately rendered details of both the chassis and the bridge deployment system. This model offers a movable bridge structure, allowing it to be positioned in various ways depending on your diorama scenario. The box includes photo-etched parts for demanding details and transparent parts for headlight finishes. Dragon has ensured realistic track reproduction in the form of flexible strips, as well as sharp details on the turret and armor.

We particularly recommend this model for advanced modellers who are interested in engineering support vehicles and want to enrich their collection with a distinctive piece of engineering equipment. The kit guarantees many hours of satisfying work and serves as an excellent starting point for ambitious diorama projects. The level of difficulty is rated at 4/5 – it requires precision and patience, but the final result impresses with its accuracy and display possibilities.
