The M48 Patton main battle tank was one of the most successful and
longest-serving designs produced in the United States, and it is a
popular subject with tank modellers and enthusiasts. When it came
into service in 1949 it represented a significant advance on the
Sherman and M47 which it replaced, and it formed the backbone of
American armoured forces during the early years of the Cold War. It
also saw combat in Vietnam, during the Indo-Pakistan wars and in
the Middle East, in particular during the Iran-Iraq War. So it is
an fascinating subject for this volume in the TankCraft series.
Archive photos of the M48 in service and extensively researched
colour profile illustrations depict the tank throughout its
operational life. A large part of the book showcases available
model kits and aftermarket products, complemented by a gallery of
beautifully constructed and painted models in various scales.
Technical details as well as modifications introduced during
production and in the field are also examined and provide
everything the modeller needs to recreate an accurate
representation of the M48.
