Voyager Model PE351263 US M103A1 Heavy Tank Basic Set for TAKOM 2139 1/35

The Voyager Model PE351263 detail-up set is dedicated to the US M103A1 Heavy Tank model in 1/35 scale by TAKOM (no. 2139). This precise set allows you to significantly enhance the standard plastic kit with a range of realistic details made using photo-etched technology.

The M103A1 is a postwar American heavy tank, used mainly by the United States Army and the Marines. Introduced into service at the end of the 1950s during the Cold War, it was intended to fill the gap left by the World War II-era M26 Pershing and M46 Patton. Due to its weight and size, the M103A1 primarily served in a direct fire support role for U.S. armored units in Europe, and was stationed in Germany until the early 1970s, after which it was withdrawn when the M60 series tanks were introduced.

• Scale: 1/35
• Country of service: United States
• Era: Cold War (1957–1974)
• Purpose: set of photo-etched elements for upgrading TAKOM 2139

Thanks to the inclusion of Voyager Model photo-etched elements, modelers can achieve an extremely realistic final effect, which cannot be accomplished with standard plastic parts. Grilles, meshes, and small panels have a natural thickness and accurately reproduce the original, both in terms of dimensions and texture.

We especially recommend this product to advanced modelers and those who expect the highest level of realism from their projects. The assembly difficulty is rated 4/5 – experience working with delicate parts and tools for precise cutting and bending of metal are required.

The Voyager Model PE351263 allows you to take your US M103A1 TAKOM model to the next level, making it a unique exhibit in any collection of Cold War armored vehicles.
