Product Description: The Takom 2160 M247 Sergeant York model is a faithfully reproduced 1/35 scale replica of the American self-propelled anti-aircraft system from the Cold War era. Developed in the 1970s, the M247 Sergeant York was an ambitious project of the United States Department of Defense as part of the DIVAD (Division Air Defense) program. The main task of the vehicle was to protect armored and mechanized units from air attacks. The modern turret, fitted with two 40 mm Bofors guns controlled by advanced radar, was mounted on the hull of an M48 Patton tank. Although the project was canceled in 1985 due to numerous technical problems and cost overruns, the M247 made history as one of the most interesting American armored solutions of that era.
