Takom 1/35 US Medium Tank M47/G 2 in 1

The M47 Patton is an American medium tank (also known as the 1st generation main battle tank) from the Cold War period. The first prototypes of this car were built in 1950, and serial production was carried out in the years 1951-1954. In total, around 8,500 tanks of this type were built. The drive was provided by a single engine Continental AV1790-5B with 810 HP. The total length of the car was 8.68 meters and 3.38 meters wide. The combat weight was 48.6 tons. The main armament was the 90mm M36 cannon, and the additional armament was 3 Browning machine guns, 7.62mm and 12.7mm.

The M47 Patton tank was developed for the US Army as a modernization of the M46 also called Patton. The main difference between the two cars was the use of an all-new turret on the M47, which was armed with a 90mm gun, but of a different type to the M46. In connection with the Korean War, the M47 Patton tank was put into production very quickly and was manufactured at the Detroit Arsenal and the American Locomotive Company. It is worth noting that the M47 Patton was quickly withdrawn from service in the US Army and replaced by the M48 tank, but was widely used in allied countries such as Belgium, France, Greece, West Germany and South Korea. Several versions of this tank were also created, including: the M47 (basic production version), the M47M (a version with a different engine and a modernized SKO) and the M47E2 (a version with a 105 mm gun).
