It was the main battle tank of the US Army and US Marine corps in the Vietnam War. Nearly 12,000 M48s were built, mainly by  Chrysler and American Locomotive Company, from 1952 to 1961. The M48 Patton was the first U.S. medium gun tank with a four-man crew, featuring a centerline driver's compartment and no bow machine gunner. As with nearly all new armored vehicles it had a wide variety of suspension systems, Cupola styles, power packs, fenders and other details among individual tanks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe early designs, up to the M48A2C, were powered by a gasoline engine. The M48A3 and A5 versions used a diesel engine, however, gasoline engine versions were still in use in the US Army National Guard through 1968 and by many West German Army units through 1975. Numerous examples of the M48 saw combat use in various Arab-Israel conflicts and the Vietnam War Beginning in 1959, most American M48A1s and M48A2s were upgraded to the M48A3 model.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe M48 Patton-series saw widespread service with the United States andNato until it was superseded by theM60 Tank It was widely exported. The tank's hull also became the basis for a wide variety of experimental, utility and support vehicles such as armored recovery vehicles and bridge layers. Some M48A5 models served into the mid-1980s with US Army National Guard units, and M48A3s were used as targets for weapons and radar testing into the mid-1990s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany M48s remain in service in countries other than the US. Most of these have been modified and their firepower, mobility and protection upgraded to increase their combat effectiveness on the modern battlefield.

In October 1958, the PLA decided to develop an indigenous amphibious tank based on the PT-76 design. The development program was carried out by 201 Institute and the 615 Factory. A prototype known as WZ-211 (Type 60) was built and tested in 1959, but the design suffered from a number of problems including engine overheating. The PLA wasn't satisfied with the performance of the vehicle, which led to the development of an improved version. It was jointly developed by Military Engineering Institute (MEI) and the No. 60 Research Institute of Fifth Ministry of Machine Building. The prototype was completed in 1962 and was sent to Norinco Factory 615, the Shaanxi Weiyang Diesel Engine Plant, for continued research.

At the Minsk Automobile Plant, a Special Design Bureau [SKB] was organized, under the direction of chief designer Boris L. Shaposhnik, and an effort was made to develop an improved heavy tractor based on the proven MAZ-535. At the end of 1958, the first prototypes appeared, which successfully withstood factory, and then state interdepartmental tests. On March 29, 1959, the first MAZ-537 was assembled at the Minsk Automobile Plant,  began serial production from the beginning of 1960, and was adopted for service on July 30, 1962. At the end of 1963, design documentation was transferred to the Uralselmash plant in the city of Kurgan (renamed the Kurgan Wheel Tractor Plant (KZKT) by the order of the Minister of Automotive and Tractor Industry of June 11, 1966), where the MAZ-535 family had been manufactured. At that time, the total output of MAZ-537 family tractors in Minsk and MAZ-535 in Kurgan reached 350-400 pieces per year.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe MAZ-537 is powered by a standard 525 hp tank engine tucked behind a forward control cab that provides seating for the driver and three passengers. The simple \u0026amp; reliable design is largely based on the MAZ-535B tractor. The MAZ-537 differs in a sturdier frame with an increased wheel base and features a more powerful engine, with modifications to the cooling and lubrication systems, fuel and air supply, and the exhausts. The engine preheater was moved under the cab to the frame, and its outlet extension was shortened and withdrawn through the front frame. The suspension design remains virtually unchanged, but the front wheel torsion struts were enlarged in both length and diameter, and the brake system was thoroughly improved. In comparison with the predecessor, the compressor drive installed on the overdrive was changed - to be powered by two belts making it simpler and more technologically efficient. The new tractor did not have a winch and a power take-off box, which was later installed on its modifications.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe MAZ-537 tank transporter can tow semi-trailers with medium and main battle tanks with a maximum weight of 50,000 kg both on roads and rugged terrain. It is still capable of towing any MBT currently in service with the Russian Army today. The reliable MAZ 537 \"Hurricane\" was widely used by the regular troops for the transportation of various long-range combat systems and has been exported to serve in the armed forces of many countries. For the creation of the MAZ-535 and MAZ-537 tractor families, chief designer of the SKB MAZ Boris L. Shaposhnik and a group of his associates were awarded the State Prize of the USSR in 1968.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChMZAP-5247G\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis heavy load semi-trailer is most often used as a tank and tracked vehicle transporter, though they are also used to carry heavy equipment and cargoes. The ChMZAP-5247G is a more advanced form of the earlier ChMZAP-5247B trailer, with a recessed road deck and an incline behind the load area and the gooseneck in front of it. It is a little over half a meter longer than its predecessor and almost three-quarters of a meter wider. It can carry more weight and has powered folding loading ramps at the rear (the ChMZAP-5247B only had removable loading ramps).","brand":"Takom","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42566271074365,"sku":"TAKO5013","price":54.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0276\/1424\/9021\/files\/bcuwxbvqswg.jpg?v=1756742037"},{"product_id":"sherman-firefly-vc-cast-cheek-armour-wwii-tank-135-kit-asuka-tasca-35011","title":"WWII Sherman Firefly VC Tank - 1:35 Model Kit | Asuka | 35011","description":"SHERMAN FIREFLY Vc Cast Cheek Armour WWII Tank 1:35 kit ASUKA Tasca 35011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Asuka Model","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42567471104061,"sku":"35011","price":59.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0276\/1424\/9021\/files\/5y0nl0xb35h.jpg?v=1756820935"},{"product_id":"sherman-firefly-tank-quickbuild-push-together-model-kits-no-glue-or-paint-airfix-j6042","title":"Sherman Firefly Tank - Model Kit | Airfix | J6042","description":"\u003cb style=\"font-size: 13px;\"\u003eAirfix Quickbuild\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13px;\"\u003eEmbark on a miniature adventure with Airfix Quickbuild push-together model kits - no glue, no paint, just build!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13px;\"\u003eWelcome to Quickbuild, where the journey to joy begins!

The first T-54 prototype was completed by the end of 1945. From the late 1950s, the T-54 eventually became the main tank for armoured units of the Soviet Army, armies of the Warsaw Pact countries, and many others. T-54s and T-55s have been involved in many of the world’s armed conflicts since their introduction in the second half of the 20th century.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eThe T-54\/55 series is the most-produced tank in history. Estimated production numbers for the series range from 96,500 to 100,000. They were replaced by the T-62, T-64, T-72, T-80 and T-90 tanks in the Soviet and Russian armies, but remain in use by up to 50 other armies worldwide, some having received sophisticated retrofitting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eDuring the Cold War, Soviet tanks never directly faced their NATO adversaries in combat in Europe. However, the T-54\/55’s first appearance in the West around the period of the 1950s spurred the United Kingdom to develop a new tank gun, the Royal Ordnance L7, and the United States to develop the M60 Patton.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eThe first production version, designated T-54-1, differed from the T-54 prototype, had thicker hull armour. As production ramped up, quality problems emerged. Production was stopped and an improved T-54-2 version was designed. Several changes were made and a new turret was fitted. The new dome-shaped turret with flat sides was inspired by the turret from the IS-3 heavy tank; it is similar to the later T-54 turret but with a distinctive overhang at the rear. It also had a shorter bustle. The fender machine guns were removed in favour of a single bow-mounted machine gun. The transmission was modernised and the track was widened to 580mm. The T-54-2 entered production in 1949. In 1951, a second modernization was made, designated T-54-3, which had a new turret without side undercuts, as well as the new TSh-2-22 telescopic gunner’s sight instead of the TSh-20. The tank featured the TDA smoke generating system.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eIn March 1953, the T-54-3 fitted the 100mm D-10T tank gun with the STP-1 “Gorizont” vertical stabilizer, and designation as the D-10TG. The new design also received night vision equipment for the driver and was designated T-54A. Originally, this had a small muzzle counter-weight, which was later replaced with a fume extractor. It was equipped with an OPVT wading snorkel, the TSh-2A-22 telescopic sight, TVN-1 infrared driver’s periscope and IR headlight, a new R-113 radio, multi-stage engine air filter and radiator controls for improved engine performance, an electrical oil pump, a bilge pump, an automatic fire extinguisher and extra fuel tanks.

It was fitted with a new 100mm D-10T2S tank gun with STP-2 “Tsyklon” 2-plane stabilizer. It entered production in 1957. During the last four months of production, the new tanks were equipped with an L-2 “Luna” infrared searchlight, a TPN-1-22-11 IR gunner’s sight, and an OU-3 IR commander’s searchlight. Modern APFSDS ammunition was developed, dramatically enhancing the penetrative performance of the gun to keep it competitive with NATO armour developments.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box;

It was developed in the late 1950s as a replacement for the BTR-152 and was seen in public for the first time in 1961. BTR stands for Bronetransporter (БТР, Бронетранспортер, literally “armoured transporter”).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe BTR-152 and BTR-40, the first two Soviet mass-produced APCs developed after the Second World War, gave the Soviet Army useful experience with wheeled armoured personnel carriers. However, even as they were designed, they were not suited for the needs of the Soviet Army as they lacked a roof (which was added in later versions designated BTR-152K and BTR-40B respectively). The low combat values of the BTR-152 and BTR-40 were exposed when the Egyptian Army used them during the Suez Crisis and also when the Soviet Army used them in the fighting on the streets of Budapest during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. These were among the reasons why the new APC was developed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBetween 1956 and 1957, a decision was made to convert all rifle and mechanized divisions into motor rifle divisions and a requirement for a new transport vehicle was drawn up. Development proceeded along two paths: a more expensive vehicle that would eventually become the BMP-1, for use in tank divisions, and a cheaper vehicle for use in motor rifle divisions, that would eventually become the BTR-60.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBTR-60P had open-roofed crew and troop compartments, which was deemed to be a serious disadvantage. Accordingly, a new version with an armoured roof, designated BTR-60PA, entered production in 1963. This new version’s capacity was reduced from 16 soldiers to 14 soldiers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe appearance of the German HS.30 APC, which was armed with a 20mm cannon, prompted the addition of the conical BPU-1 turret. This turret, which was originally developed for the BRDM-2 amphibious armoured scout car, was armed with the KPVT 14.5mm heavy machine gun and a PKT 7.62mm tank machine gun. The new vehicle was designated the BTR-60PAI and entered production in 1965. It was, however, quickly replaced by the BTR-60PB, which had a better sighting system for the machine guns.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn total, around 25,000 units were produced in the Soviet Union between 1960 and 1976, and 1,878 units in Romania between 1970 and 1990.","brand":"Rubicon Models","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42759467106365,"sku":"280122","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0276\/1424\/9021\/files\/qhs5c25im4x.jpg?v=1764603043"}],"url":"https:\/\/hobby-lines.co.uk\/collections\/armoured-vehicles.oembed","provider":"Hobby-lines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
