M46 PATTON MEDIUM TANK 1/72

The M46 was an improved M26 Pershing tank and one of the U.S army's principal medium battle tanks of the early Cold War, with models in service from 1949 to the mid 1950s. The M46 tank was designed to replace the previous M26 Pershing and M4 Sherman. On 30 July 1948, standardized the M46 and named it the General Patton, in honor of General George S. Patton Jr. It was not widely used by U.S. Cold War allies, being exported only to Belgium, and only in small numbers to train crews on the upcoming M-47._x000D_ Item No 07288_x000D_ Item Name US M46 Patton Medium Tank_x000D_ Bar Code 9580208072883_x000D_ Scale 1:72_x000D_ Item Type Static Kit_x000D_ Model Brief Length: 118.95mm Width: 49.2mm Height: 42.94mm_x000D_ Total Parts 186pcs_x000D_ Metal Parts n/a_x000D_ Photo Etched Parts n/a_x000D_ Film Parts n/a_x000D_ Resin Parts n/a_x000D_ Total Sprues 5 sprues plus lower hull and upper hull_x000D_ Paint Schemes US Service, The famous Tiger faced tanks of the 6th Tank Bn. in Korea in 1951_x000D_ Released Date 2008-11_x000D_ More Features " Hull_x000D_ - 2-directional slide-moulded lower hull with suspension arms separated_x000D_ - 2-directional slide-moulded upper hull with with excellent engine c".
