Corgi M48 A3 Tank U.S.M.C. B Company (Unsung Heroes series)
REF:US50306 Scale 1:50 Limited Edition
Without doubt the most perfect model of the M48 tank ever produced. With masses of detail and made to the highest quality this is not just an ordinary model, this is a perfectly reproduced die-cast replica.
"In 1968, the powerful and dependable M48A3 tank played a major role in ""Operation Pegasus,"" relieving the Marine Corps garrison at Khe Sanh in South Vietnam. This tank was particularly effective as a forced entry tool in heavy assaults on enemy positions. You can own a remarkably intricate, authentic, hand-painted and battle-scarred replica of the tank used by C Company, 3rd Tank Battalion, 3rd Marine Division. It even includes the bat symbol painted on the searchlight, reddish mud on the treads, a canvas cover around the gun tube, 40mm ammo cans around the gypsy rack in back, the double-stacked jerry cans hanging from the turret sides and spare track over the turret that caused enemy rockets to explode prematurely."
Also includes a fascinating information pack. This stunning model is available from the die-cast-collector website.
