This is Dragon 3546 1:35 M48a3 Smart Kit. Dragon’s kit builds on the previous release depicting a M48A3 Mod.B variant. However, there are some important changes, including a NEW searchlight. The canvas mantlet cover is new too, this being formed from DS to authentically replicate the original material. The fenders are brand new as well.

The kit is carefully based on detailed research of surviving original tanks, and the designer has used different methods to reproduce the form of the M48A3, especially the curved shape of the cast turret. This accurately shaped turret even has subtle casting texture, including embossed casting numbers. The tank has been produced with modeling convenience in mind too, with such features as easy-fitting DS tracks. With Dragon’s know how and technological skills being applied to this fairly modern subject, this second M48A3 kit will please a great many modelers.

Highly detailed plastic pieces molded in grey, tan and clear
Gun travel lock can be assembled wither stowed or in use
