M48a3 (1 Viewer)

[wwiibuff]

Recently got the M48A3 Marine version of this tank. I have taken just a couple quick shots of it along with a couple of K&C soldiers. I was hoping it would go together scale wise with K&C figures and IMO does very nicely. I've also included a picture of me standing next to a M48 for scale reference. I think the comparison between my size against the real tank and the K&C figures with the TCS model are very close. I have added antennae to the turret. I bought this tank planning on repainted/remarking it, but for the most part do like the paint and markings as is. I may just add some weathering, repaint some of the details and spruce up just a little instead of redoing the whole model. One thing with it though, the driver figure's head will not fit underneath the cannon. I have to turn the turret to the side a little so his head will be clear.

This is one HEAVY model! One of the heaviest I own I think along with the TCS Tiger I's (Wittman and Winter). I do like it and think it will display great and am glad it goes with the K&C Vietnam figures. I plan to take some better dio pictures with it soon.

It's great to know it goes well with the K&C nam figures! I wasn't very sure to move along with it, but now I'm confident! Thanks Duke!

Thanks for posting! I’ve been tempted to get the TCS M-48 now that I have their M113. Glad to see it works with the K&C figures as well.

Thanks guys for the comments. I thought it might be helpful to some to show with K&C figures.

Steve, I know you will take some great photos when you get yours and mix with your K&C figures. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Here's one more shot of the tank, more from above to better see some of the details.

Heres a shot of the Collectors Showcase Patton with the K&C Marines street fighting in Hue. I agree this is one Heavy tank.

OK, this might be really dumb question but does the green of the M48 go with the green on the KC Marine uniforms?

The M-48 is a massive tank, this model looks under scale to me

The tank is darker green than the marines green.

Thanks for the info.

The figures look correct with the M48. The deck height to the top of the tool boxes is about 6 feet.

I think Andy said he is making one but I would grab one K&C still haven't improved much in the tracks area.

I got myself the TCS USMC M38A3 last week... I really like the model The tooling is pretty accurate, it has nice details with all the stowage, etc. and a nice amount of weathering without being over or underdone. Here are a few pics of my TCS M48 display on the TCS large diorama base with some of the TCS Vietnam Marines:

TCS make some good product for sure, this is an example. I have the Huey and M113 which I am happy with. Robin.
