US M46 Patton 1:72 Plastic Model Kit - Trumpeter 07288  [TP07288]

Key features of the Trumpeter M46 Patton 1:72

This kit portrays the US M46 Patton medium tank at a 1:72 scale, produced as a compact representation within a military model range for display and diorama use.

The M46 Patton evolved from the earlier M26 Pershing, entering standardization on 30 July 1948 and serving through the early Cold War. Named General Patton in common usage, it addressed mobility and powertrain shortcomings of preceding designs and stayed with U.S. forces from 1949 into the mid 1950s. Export transfers were limited, with a small number reaching Belgium and other select units.

Manufacturer data lists the assembly as a plastic model at 1:72 scale with a count of 186 pieces, indicating moderate external surface detail. Builders should plan for typical 1:72 painting and weathering methods to reproduce hull and track appearance. The finished footprint and box dimensions suit tabletop dioramas and compact shelf displays.

A neat 1:72 plastic assembly that reproduces the M46 Patton's external lines; ideal for modellers assembling period US medium tanks for compact displays.
