Hello everybody... As the instigator and primary host of the. This was my take on Tamiya's classic 1/35th M48A3. It is built in the markings of "DEATH" from the 1st Marine tank Battalion C-Coy company 1970 C-12. I used a mixture of kit decals and Star decals sheet 35 C-1074. The Sandbags are made from baked sculpey modeling clay and were molded to the hull. I went for a heavily used tank covered with stowage, sometime in the rainy season. Sometime in the not to distant yet cloudy future i would like to make a base for this. Pose it in a section of a Firebase defensive perimeter. Questions, comments, or thoughts are always accepted.

M48A3 Patton for Dragon Smart kit 1:35 Eduard It seems that the Dragon M48A3 has been really well received, being one of the most accurate kits of this famous tank. That said, where Eduard are concerned there is always room for improvement and this set has been released to accomplish just that. The single sheet contained in the now infamous plastic packets is full of fine detail parts, some of which you really need an Opti Visor to see. Apart from the host of new brackets, and handles, this set provides a load of new detail for the prominent searchlight above the gun mantle. These include a new liner, hinges, access plates, grilles and vents. A completely new external telephone/radio box is fitted to the rear of the model in addition to its support tray and bracket. The track guard supports are provided with new end caps, and they are new clamps for the various pioneer tools and equipment. The headlamp clusters are fitted with new supports, plus there are new hinges and clasps for the storage boxes. Finally the rear bustle storage rack is given anew perforated base and back plate complete with perforated dividers and extra storage hangers. Some of the kits details will need to be removed before the fitting of PE parts, but fortunately there aren’t that many. Conclusion As mentioned earlier the Dragon M48A3 is apparently the best kit of its type currently available. Whilst this set is not as large as some that Eduard have released it provides enough parts to really lift the kit to another level. There are plenty of fiddly parts so you will need a steady hand and a good pair of tweezers to ensure the carpet monster doesn’t get its fill. Highly recommended. Review sample courtesy of
