M-60 Patton Tank coloring page

 This coloring page drawing will probably not be the last one I post today.

This is today's FIRST new coloring page drawing that will be available to print and color.

M-60 Patton Tank

The M-60 Patton Main Battle Tank was in service by the USA armed forces from 1960 to 1980.  It weighed around 20 tons and was a cold war tank.  It has been retired and if anything it is now used for target practice by the US Army.  It went through lots of upgrades over the 20 years of its service in the US military.  

However, the M-60 Patton Main Battle tank is still the most widely used tank in the world.  Many of the allies of the USA still use this tank so it is NOT completely out of service. 

The M-60 Patton Tank was named for General George S. Patton who was a commander of the Third Army in World War II.  He was a genius at tank warfare.  We had a book in our family library called When the Third Cracked Europe.  Ironically General Patton died in a car wreck shortly after the war ended.  He never rode in nor commanded a M-60 Patton Tank.

This is my grandson's plastic toy tank that I used to draw this tank. It IS based on an M-60 Patton Main Battle Tank.  I had the same type of toy when I was little.  It amazes me that they still use that same mold to make the plastic tank.
