Compared to its predecessors, such as the M-46, it exhibited significantly improved performance, featuring enhanced protection and increased firepower, provided by the turret-mounted 90mm M3 gun. The tank had a combat weight of approximately 46 tons and was powered by a high-performance Continental 12-cylinder V-type air-cooled engine delivering 810 hp, enabling a top speed of 45 km\/h.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeyond the United States, the M-47 was widely used by various NATO armies throughout the Cold War. It proved to be a reliable and robust platform, remaining in service with several European armoured units until the 1980s. Additionally, it saw combat in multiple operational theatres, ranging from the Middle East to the Indo-Pakistani conflict.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScale is 1:35\u003cbr\u003eSize of the model is 24.2cm\u003cbr\u003eIconic tank used during the Cold War period by an impressive number of countries\u003cbr\u003eAlterative set of decals for the USA, Italy, Germany, France, Belgium, and Greece\u003cbr\u003eSuitable for making an interesting diorama in an operating environment\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Italeri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57248772522365,"sku":"ITA6763","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/6604\/3780\/files\/so5vgyj3fsa.jpg?v=1761373692","url":"https:\/\/fieldsofglorymodels.co.uk\/products\/italeri-135-scale-american-us-m47-patton-tank-model-kit","provider":"Fields of Glory Models","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
