The M48A1 was an early production variant of the M48 Patton, America's standard main battle tank through the late 1950s and into the Vietnam era. Distinguished by its large, rounde d commander's cupola mounting a .50 calibre machine gun, the M48A1 equipped US Army and Marine Corps armoured units and was supplied to numerous allied nations during the Cold War. This release is part of Dragon's "Smart Kit" line, which re-engineers the parts breakdown of Dragon's earlier, more complex tooling into a cleaner, more efficient build without sacrificing the fine surface detail, slide-moulded turret castings and crisp hull texturing the brand is known for, making it a satisfying build for modellers who want accuracy without an overwhelming parts count. The kit includes individual workable track links, a detailed hull and turret with the characteristic M48A1 cupola, and a decal sheet for authentic period US markings. A great choice for both dedicated Patton collectors and modellers looking to add a well-detailed, manageable Cold War American tank to their display shelf. Show more
