Italeri 1/35 M47 PATTON 6763

 

M-47 Patton medium tank was developed and deployed to U.S. armored units in the early 1950s. Compared to its predecessors, such as the M-46, it exhibited significantly improved performance, featuring enhanced protection and increased firepower, provided by the turret-mounted 90mm M3 gun. The tank had a combat weight of approximately 46 tons and was powered by a high-performance Continental 12-cylinder V-type air-cooled engine delivering 810 hp, enabling a top speed of 45 km/h. Beyond the United States, the M-47 was widely used by various NATO armies throughout the Cold War. It proved to be a reliable and robust platform, remaining in service with several European armored units until the 1980s. Additionally, it saw combat in multiple operational theaters, ranging from the Middle East to the Indo-Pakistani conflict.
