Trumpeter 07288 - US M46 Patton 1:72 Tracked Medium Tank Model Kit  [TP07288]

Detailed summary: Trumpeter M46 Patton in 1:72

This product is a 1:72 scale plastic assembly depicting the US M46 Patton medium tank, marketed as a compact display option within a military vehicle series.

The M46 Patton was introduced as an evolution of the M26 Pershing and was standardized on 30 July 1948. Often associated with General Patton in common reference, the model resolved earlier mobility and drivetrain issues and served from 1949 into the mid 1950s in U.S. service. Export volumes were small, with limited transfers to countries such as Belgium and selected units.

The kit is described as a 1:72 plastic model containing 186 parts, offering a moderate degree of external detail appropriate for standard 1:72 finishing techniques. The stated parts count and finished footprint make the item appropriate for small diorama scenes or shelf presentation where compact scale accuracy is valued.

A compact 1:72 scale plastic kit that reproduces the external form of the M46 Patton; ideal for modellers seeking a mid-century US medium tank for display or small dioramas.
