Club Group Build: Patton Tank Family
Any experimental or production versions of the M26, M46, M47, M48 and M60 tank family or related vehicles.
Completed models are due at our July 2021 club meeting in preparation for display at the 2021 IPMS Nationals.
SPECIAL REQUEST: It’s time to get serious about our Patton Group Build project for the 2021 IPMS Nationals.
As a first step we need to know where we currently stand with the individual model builds for the Group Build to prevent duplication.
So, please email me what you have either already built or plan to build for the Group Build.
We need 4 pieces of information from you for EACH build:
(1) Name of build: example: M60A1
(2) Country of use: example: US
(3) Color Scheme: example: MERDC winter verdant (Note: Many Patton tank versions can be completed in a number of color schemes)
(4) Build Status: examples: Planned or Started or Complete
From your inputs I’ll compile a master status list.
