I was going to say that your project is actually built on a M48 hull, not an M60 hull. But you have already converted the glacis area to the hemispherical shape of the M48 instead of the flat plates of the M60. Well done! The one in the photo looks to be built off of either a basic M48, a M48A1, or M48A2 by the fender configuration with smaller stage boxes, the pioneer tool rack, and no air filter boxes on the fenders. Those were introduced on the diesel engined M48A3 rebuilds. This should be a neat one to follow.

The M60 and M48 are similar, being that the M60 evolved from the M48 design. Trust me, I used to teach tank ID classes in the army.
