"In 1968, the powerful and dependable M48A3 tank played a major role in ""Operation Pegasus,"" relieving the Marine Corps garrison at Khe Sanh in South Vietnam. This tank was particularly effective as a forced entry tool in heavy assaults on enemy positions. You can own a remarkably intricate, authentic, hand-painted and battle-scarred replica of the tank used by C Company, 3rd Tank Battalion, 3rd Marine Division. It even includes the bat symbol painted on the searchlight, reddish mud on the treads, a canvas cover around the gun tube, 40mm ammo cans around the gypsy rack in back, the double-stacked jerry cans hanging from the turret sides and spare track over the turret that caused enemy rockets to explode prematurely."
Also includes a fascinating information pack. This stunning model is available from the die-cast-collector website.
