BRAND NEW OPEN BOX KIT INVENTORIED AND  COMPLETE.

Primary Features

Motorized Operation: Unlike strictly static scale models, this kit is motor-driven. It is engineered to house an internal Mabuchi FA-130 motor and a plastic gearbox.

Battery Powered: The functional drive design is powered by two UM-3 (AA) batteries (not included).

1/48 Scale: Built to a standard 1:48 international modeling scale, making it highly compatible with with mid-sized armor displays and dioramas.

U.S. Marine Corps Configuration: The model specifically depicts a U.S. Marine variant featuring realistic Reactive Armor (ERA) plating bolted around the turret and front hull, mirroring variants active during the Gulf War era.

HISTORICAL CONTEXT OF THE ACTUAL TANK

The model kit box features the U.S. Marine Corps M60A1 Main Battle Tank with Explosive Reactive Armor (ERA). This specific configuration represents a pivotal moment in late Cold War armored warfare, serving as the bridge between America's second-generation medium tanks and modern third-generation main battle tanks like the M1 Abrams.

Following their highly successful deployment in the Gulf War, the M60A1 was swiftly phased out of frontline U.S. military service by 1997 as the Marine Corps fully integrated the M1A1 Abrams.
