About product

M48A3 accessories set in 1:35 from Black Dog

An accessory set from the Czech brand Black Dog in 1:35, meant for a model of the American M48A3 Patton tank. It is not a model of the tank but an accessory for it: it adds to the hull and the turret the kit and cargo that crews carried with them. The brand also makes a more extensive set for the same vehicle marked big, so you can choose according to how fully you want to equip the model.

The real subject

The M48A3 is the diesel version of the American M48 Patton tank. The conversion removed the main weakness of the older machines, namely their thirsty gasoline engine and with it their short range, and it also brought changes to the commander's cupola and the interior equipment. It was in this form that the M48 served in Vietnam, where it supported infantry, escorted convoys and fought at close range in dense vegetation. Period photographs show the vehicles covered with crates, drums, spare track links and the crews' personal belongings.

Painting and patina tips

A uniform olive coat does accessories no favors, so paint them separately and tell the materials clearly apart: canvas, wood, metal and plastic each have a different tone and gloss. Only at the end tie the model together with shared dusting and earthy weathering in the lower areas. Damp, rather darker dirt suits the Vietnamese setting better than dry desert dust.

Who the set is for

  • For builders of American Cold War and Vietnam-era vehicles.
  • For dioramas with a tank in vegetation or in a convoy.
  • For modelers who want to equip a model to a reasonable extent.
  • For those who enjoy painting small objects and telling materials apart.

It is an accessory for a model, not a model of the vehicle on its own.

FAQ

It is not. It is an accessory set for a model of the M48A3 in 1:35, and the tank itself is not included.

The brand has released two sets for the same vehicle, and the word big marks the more extensive one. The exact make-up of the two cannot be read from the name.

There was not enough room inside the vehicle, so crews carried crates, drums and personal belongings on the hull and the turret.

Rather damp and darker earthy dirt in the lower areas, matching the Vietnamese setting, not dry desert dust.
