Revell 7821 1/32 M47 Patton Tank
M47s were rushed into production in order to participate in the Korean War. Detroit Arsenal combined a turret from the upcoming T-42 with the existing chassis of the M46 to produce the M47. In many ways the M47 was a modern tank, with a stabilized gun that increased accuracy and firing rate and an updated suspension; however, it also suffered from a very old style of armor on its chassis which made it vulnerable to modern anti-tank weapons.
Kit features 5 crew figures, opening engine covers and separate turret hatches.
