The M48A3 Patton
The M48 Patton series entered US service in the 1950s as a successor to the M47, mounting a 90mm gun in a rounded cast turret. The M48A3 upgrade replaced the earlier gasoline engine with a more reliable diesel powerplant (the same family of engine used in later US Cold War armor), improving safety and logistics for units operating in the field. Along with other improvements, the A3 became the standard M48 configuration for much of the US fleet in the late 1960s and saw extensive combat in Southeast Asia, where US Army and Marine tankers used Pattons in infantry support, route security, and base defense.
Whether you are building a Vietnam-era US armor collection, a Cold War NATO display, or pairing the M48A3 with figures and softskins from the same period, Tamiya's 1/35 kit offers a classic subject with the manufacturer's reputation for crisp molding and straightforward assembly.
