1:35 West German Tank M47 Patton
This kit is the latest addition to the Tamiya-Italeri Series and sees a significantly updated version of the veteran Italeri M47 Patton combined with Tamiya figure and machine gun parts plus new West German markings and parts as well as Tamiya instructions and package! The M47 Patton began deployment in 1952 but was ratherquickly superseded by the M48; M47s were thus supplied by the U.S. to friendly nations in the west such as Italy and West Germany.
