M60 AVLB Chassis?

So I have two of the engineering M60s and several sets of the bridging, but as far as I can tell, no chassis for the bridge layer.

Does anyone have a picture of the GHQ *without* the bridge on top?

Any old sculpt GHQ M60 hull with the larger turret well will do.

I know I have one somewhere but I can't find it at the moment. It's probably in my kid's micro armor box painted yellow or something. As I recall the launching mechanism is part of the bridge piece so the hull is just a standard M60 chassis but I think there is a little box on the back deck that the bridge rests on.

I was afraid of that. My bridge setionc have no launcher. May just slap them on a leftover chassis and have done.

M60 AVLB, I hope these pictures will give you the perspective you are looking for. If not, let me know.

Thanks Chris.

It appears I have several bridging sections but no chassis at all. They are def the same bridges as yours, so maybe I need to look in another box for the chassis...

The chassis is just an M60 hull. The ‘LB’ device is a separate part. Those are glued down to the hull.
I’ll look to see if I have some separated from hull and bridge piece.

Here is an Abrams with the AVLB from the M60.
Bridge is shorter than the new Abrams but costs a lot less.
This bridge is all glued to the hull.
