Build one of the most iconic American tanks of the Cold War and Vietnam War era with the Rubicon Models M48A3 Patton / M67A2 Zippo model kit. This 1/56 scale ABS plastic kit lets you assemble either the M48A3 main battle tank or the M67A2 flamethrower variant, offering flexibility for both wargamers and historical modellers. The kit includes decals, assembly instructions, and requires ABS cement. Supplied unpainted and unassembled, suitable for ages 14 and over.

The M48 Patton was introduced in 1952 and became the backbone of US Army and US Marine Corps armoured forces during the Vietnam War. With nearly 12,000 produced, it was a key part of NATO defence throughout the Cold War and also saw extensive combat in Middle Eastern conflicts. The M48A3, with its diesel engine upgrade, offered improved reliability, while the M67A2 “Zippo” variant replaced the main gun with a flamethrower system for specialised close-support operations.

This Rubicon Models kit provides highly detailed parts to recreate both versions, including multiple component options to capture historical accuracy. With realistic details and optional configurations, it is perfect for building US armoured forces for tabletop wargaming or as a centrepiece in a Cold War armour collection.
