TKM2072 - Takom - 1/35 M47E/M Medium Tank

The Takom 2072 1/35 M47E/M Patton Medium Tank (2 in 1) is a highly detailed plastic model kit of the American Cold War M47 Patton main battle tank, representing upgraded service variants used by NATO allies—particularly European operators such as Spain and others that modernized the type for extended service life. Based on the early 1950s M47 design, this kit reflects the transitional evolution between the M46 and M48 Patton series, featuring the distinctive cast turret, sloped glacis armor, and the powerful 90mm M36 gun that defined early Cold War U.S. armored doctrine.

The E/M configuration included in this “2 in 1” boxing allows modelers to build different upgraded service versions with varied muzzle brakes, mantlet configurations, and external fittings. These upgraded tanks typically featured improvements in fire control, communications equipment, and localized modernization packages that extended operational usefulness well beyond their original U.S. service life.

Takom’s kit is known for its sharp molding, accurate cast-texture representation, and well-engineered fit. It includes link-and-length tracks with assembly jigs, finely detailed suspension components, optional open/closed hatches, photo-etched parts, and multiple marking options, making it a versatile and rewarding Cold War armor build.
