[About the actual vehicle]
--The M103 is a heavy tank that has been deployed to the US Army and Marine Corps since 1957 during the Cold War after World War II. To compete with the Soviet 122mm gun-equipped IS-3 Stalin and T-10 tanks, the United States has advanced the development of heavy tanks with 120mm guns.
--The M103, which shares many parts with the M48 Patton tank, is equipped with a 60-caliber 120mm tank gun as its main gun. The turret is characterized by a larger turret because it requires two loaders due to the separate shell and charge.
--The engine is equipped with the same Continental AV1790V type 12-cylinder air-cooled gasoline engine as the M48. It has been deployed to the Army and Marine Corps since 1957.
[About the model]
-It is a completed model that realistically reproduces the heavy tank M103A1.
――In addition to the reproduction of the car body with a profound and intimidating feeling, the suspension arms and dampers of the suspension are also reproduced, and the track and road wheels are well-precision and three-dimensional.
-The most prominent and voluminous turret is set with the barrel of a 120mm gun with an open muzzle.
--The basic paint of olive drab is overlaid with a dirty paint such as a dry brush, the turret has the texture of cast skin, and the tracks have a metallic feel. I am looking forward to the heavy finish.
