Tamiya Military Model Kit
U.S. M48A3 Patton (1/35) 35120
This 1/35 scale Tamiya kit recreates the U.S. M48A3 Patton, a key main battle tank during the Vietnam War. Designed for strength, mobility, and firepower, the M48A3 featured a distinctive cast “turtleback” turret, 90mm main gun, and advanced ballistic protection for its time. The kit captures the tank’s robust form, intricate surface details, and realistic accessories for an authentic build.
- Highly detailed 1/35 scale assembly kit of the M48A3 Patton tank.
- Accurate depiction of turret, hull, and suspension.
- Includes 90mm main gun, machine gun armament, and stowage details.
- Realistic cast texture and surface features.
- Ideal for Vietnam War dioramas or armour displays.
History: Entering service in the early 1960s, the M48A3 was the first variant of the Patton series to feature the improved AVDS-1790-2 diesel engine, offering greater range and reliability. Widely used during the Vietnam War, it provided direct fire support, convoy protection, and base defence. With up to five road wheels per side and reinforced turret stowage, the M48A3 proved adaptable to the challenging jungle terrain. Many were later upgraded to M60 standards, extending their service life well into the Cold War era.
