Dragon 7519 M103A1 Heavy Tank 1:72

Dragon 7519 M103A1 Heavy Tank is a precisely reproduced plastic model kit in the popular 1:72 scale, intended for demanding modelers passionate about military and Cold War-era technology. This model represents the American heavy tank M103A1, one of the most advanced armored vehicles used by the United States Army and United States Marine Corps in the 1950s and 1960s. The M103A1 was developed as a response to the Soviet IS heavy tanks, with its main role being to defend NATO borders in Western Europe and to support armored formations during the increasing tensions of the Cold War.

The A1 version distinguished itself with improved weapon stabilization, the modern AN/VRC-5 radio, and a modified propulsion system. These tanks participated in tactical exercises in West Germany and training operations of the Marines in the Pacific region, but were never used in combat.
