Tamiya - 35120 - Model - Assault tank - US tank M 48 A3 Patton

Sin duda Tamiya es una de mis marcas preferidas en cuanto a maquetas se refiere. Plástico de buena calidad, encaje perfecto de piezas y una gran variedad de modelos. Este tanque PATTON es uno de mis preferidos. Maqueta genial y fácil de montar, no tiene demasiadas complicaciones, ademas viene con tripulación (dos hombres) y sacos, cajas de munición y bidones. Os dejo unas fotos para que veáis el resultado final, que espero os guste. Ademas las orugas ya vienen montadas, lo que pare mi personalmente lo prefiero, se me hace muy tedioso y complicado montarlas una a una, aunque parezcan menos reales hoy por hoy me quedo con esta solución. Una maqueta preciosa en escala 1/35. Tiene un tamaño mas que generoso. Totalmente recomendable.

This kit looks really nice, the detail is there and seems like another fantastic Tamiya kit. I can only assume I will enjoy putting this one together

Looks great when finished and very accurate. This is the same tank that I spent my service time in and from what I remember, the detail is very accurate. I enjoyed every minute building it. The road and drive wheels can be a little time consuming and a little tricky but the instructions are great and very helpful and you will be able to get the job done. The tank now proudly sits on top of my desk enclosed in a plastic enclosure and brings back many memories, both good and bad. I am still glad that I built it because sometimes it does give me pause to sit back think and helps me feel a little proud that I served country.

This model kit is another excellent example of the quality, research, and preparation that are put into every item manufactured by Tamiya. This kit was originally released in 1981 and with the design of the molds and the continual upkeep of them by Tamiya, the model builder is rewarded with a quality molded product that includes accuracy and plenty of excellent detail. This kit, as all Tamiya kits, is designed to provide an enjoyable building experience rewarding the builder with an excellent model and ease of assembly. From novice to experienced builder, Tamiya kits provide an outstanding value for money and experience from start to completion.

Coming back to the hobby (teens). I found the parts to fit better than I remembered. In the instructions there is quite a bit of leeway as to the order in which to assemble. I found this a suitable challenge. I wondered if I would like the hobby again and this model has made me say yes.The Tamiya thin glue and acrylic paints are a joy to use.
