Trumpeter 07288 US M46 Patton 1:72 Medium Tank Plastic Kit  [TP07288]

Compact Trumpeter M46 Patton 1:72 overview

This assembly represents the US M46 Patton medium tank at 1:72 scale, presented as a compact display-scale option within a military vehicle modelling lineup.

The M46 Patton succeeded the M26 Pershing and served as a key United States Army medium tank in the early Cold War period. Standardized on 30 July 1948 and commonly named General Patton, the design corrected mobility and powertrain limitations of earlier tanks and remained in U.S. service from 1949 into the mid 1950s. Export movement was limited, with small transfers to Belgium and selected units used to help prepare crews for later models.

Kit information identifies the item as a 1:72 plastic assembly with a stated parts count and a small finished footprint. The parts total indicates a moderate external detail level suitable for standard 1:72 painting and finishing techniques to reproduce hull textures and track runs. The package and finished model size make it well suited to dioramas or shelf display where smaller-scale accuracy is desired.

A compact 1:72 plastic assembly that captures the external silhouette of the M46 Patton; suited to modellers wanting a mid-century US medium tank for display or small dioramas.
