AFV Club 35254 Combat Engineer Vehicle M728 1/35 – plastic scale model kit

The AFV Club 35254 Combat Engineer Vehicle M728 1/35 scale model kit is an extremely detailed plastic kit that faithfully replicates the legendary M728 CEW (Combat Engineer Vehicle) based on the M60 Patton tank chassis. The M728 was primarily operated by the United States Army and several other allied forces. This massive engineering vehicle was introduced into service in the late 1960s and saw use primarily during the Cold War and into modern times, including service in Iraq during Operation Desert Storm.

The M728 CEW stands out with its turret-mounted 165 mm demolition gun designed to destroy engineering obstacles, as well as a robust winch, M9 dozer blade, and a crane, allowing it to carry out a wide range of tasks: from obstacle clearance and demining, to supporting the construction of fortifications or bridges. Its presence was crucial during both offensive and defensive operations where quick breaching of terrain obstructions or improvised fortifications was needed.
