Dragon 1/35 M60 Avlb (2 In 1)

The Dragon 1/35 M60 AVLB (2 in 1), part number HC-D3591, recreates the formidable Armoured Vehicle-Launched Bridge that succeeded the M48-based AVLB. The real M60 AVLB employed hydraulic cylinders to raise and unfurl a 14.65-ton scissors bridge in just 3–10 minutes, supporting armoured forces across obstacles from Vietnam through the Cold War era. This kit captures that impressive presence and intricate engineering detail, complete with the MLC 60 bridge.

This 2-in-1 release provides the choice of an M60A2 chassis and suspension or an alternative M60 hull, with brand new upper hulls supplied for each option. The bridge can be portrayed in stowed position, fully launched, or at any intermediate stage, opening up striking diorama possibilities.

About the M60 AVLB

Fielded by the USA from the Vietnam War through the Cold War and withdrawn from US Army service in 2003, the M60 AVLB enabled rapid bridge emplacement to keep armoured units on the move. Variants have also seen service with nations including Israel, Pakistan and Singapore.

With its versatile build options and positionable bridge, this Dragon kit offers a compelling centrepiece for modern armour collections and diorama scenes.
