Hello,
I present the M48A3 Patton model from Dragon. Added the mantlet and searchlight set from Legend, PE parts from Eduard, AFV Club tracks and machine guns from Aber. Painted Tamiya Olive Green on B&W base. Enjoy watching and I hope you will like it.

Hi Tom,

stunning model, very well finished, It looks like a real piece of metal! ... I love the cast of the tower, I also have one of these in the forum, although Marine version, and I would probably try to do a lot of what you have achieved, because it was one of my first kits around the hobby.
Cheers and TC
Francis.👍

That’s very nice. I am currently building the old tamiya M48A3 and have also bought the legend mantlet and searchlight kit.
I am concerned about the weight of the resin searchlight and the rather flimsy and vague looking attachments. 
 

I would be more than happy if my patton turned out like yours 😃

Thanks. Legend has created a couple of such sets, mainly dedicated for Dragon kits. The Tamiya turret looks completely different here, so be careful when you cut it. You will probably need to put a lot of putty on this spot. Don't worry about the weight of the searchlight. CA glue will hold it in place without any problem.
