The Tamiya 1/35 U.S. M48A3 Patton (35120) is a highly detailed model kit that replicates the iconic American main battle tank used during the Vietnam War era. This kit offers modelers the opportunity to recreate the distinctive design and features of the M48A3 Patton with exceptional realism and accuracy.

The kit includes finely molded parts that capture the characteristic shape and proportions of the tank. From the sloped frontal armor to the turret with its 105mm gun, every aspect of the M48A3 Patton is faithfully represented.

Assembly of the kit is made easier with Tamiya's high-quality molding and precise fit. The parts come together seamlessly, allowing for a smooth and enjoyable building experience. The included instructions provide clear guidance throughout the assembly process, ensuring that even less-experienced modelers can achieve great results.

The kit offers additional features that enhance the realism of the model. It includes movable parts such as the turret, gun barrel, and hatches, allowing for different posing options. The tracks are made of individual link parts, allowing for realistic sag and movement. Decals are provided to add markings and insignia for various U.S. Army units.

Modelers have the freedom to further enhance the model through painting and weathering techniques. Painting the tank in accurate U.S. Army colors and applying weathering effects like mud, dust, and rust will add depth and realism to the finished model. Optional accessories and figures can also be added to create a diorama or depict a specific scene.
