The M48A2 is a variant of the M48 Patton tank, a main battle tank used by the United States and other countries. While the M48 was first introduced in 1952, the A2 variant was developed in the late 1950s. The M48A2 featured improvements over the original M48, including a new fire control system and a more powerful engine.

Decals & masks included in this kit

Improvements made on the M48A2 from the M48A1 included a reconfigured engine deck, a simplified suspension system, and the use of external fuel tanks to increase the tank’s travel range. However, the M48A2 kept the 90 mm gun and four-man crew setup of the M48A1. The M48A2 saw service with the US military and other countries, including Israel, which used it extensively during the 1967 Six-Day War. It was eventually phased out in favour of more modern tanks, such as the M60 MBT.
