Pandemic Project No. 3-M47 Patton "Complete"

[MrT]

One of my missing links in armor. The M47 from Takom. The TC is from DEF Models the uniform pattern was used during Korea and post through early to mid 60's. The decals I will be using are from Star. Finding pictures of the M47 in use by the US Army are kinda hard to come by since a lot of M47 were for export. The US Army only used them for a very short time and was replaced by the M48. So stay tuned.

It is confusing thinking about all the various Patton tanks.

That's why I stick to the US versions. Cuts them down to size.

Ok here we go. Started with the turret. Very nice detail with pretty good part fit. Plastic is easy to work.
