Shipping is 200 bucks dhl. Took like 5 days to get here. Its the bulk and the weight. Until some supplier buys a container full and brings them into the US shipping is going to be that high.
I also recommend getting additional plastic tracks, they run better with the plastic than the metal.

I thought Germany got rid of all their M60s once they had the Leopard 1 in full production. As far as I know Germany never got a1s. Just early M60s. I had to assemble this from parts its not a standard tank they make. The IDF tank has different wheels and different hull with obtuse headlight guards.
