Trumpeter 07288 US M46 Patton - 1:72 tracked medium tank plastic model kit  [TP07288]

Trumpeter US M46 Patton 1:72 scale model overview

The model is a 1:72 scale plastic assembly representing the US M46 Patton medium tank, positioned as a compact display-scale representation within a military vehicle line.

The M46 Patton was developed as an improved follow-on to the M26 Pershing and served as one of the United States Army's primary medium tanks in the early Cold War era. Standardized on 30 July 1948 and named General Patton, it addressed mobility and powertrain issues of earlier designs and remained in U.S. service from 1949 into the mid 1950s. Exports were limited, with small transfers to Belgium and select units used to prepare crews for later models.

The kit data supplied identifies the model as a plastic assembly at 1:72 scale with a specific parts count and compact finished dimensions. The parts count indicates a moderate level of detail for external surfaces and fittings. Builders should plan for standard 1:72 painting and finishing techniques to reproduce the tank's surface texture and track runs. The package dimensions and model footprint make it suitable for diorama placement or shelf display where smaller-scale accuracy is required.
