While numerous versions of the M-48 have served for many years in the Hellenic Army, today only the A5 and its MOLF upgraded version remain. As newer assets are acquired, the A5's in addition to the M-60 A1's will be withdrawn.M48A5 MOLF - The Hellenic Army has added the EMES-18 FCS to their M48A5, denumerating them as “MOLF” for Modular Laser Fire Control System
The kit is from Academy and the Tracks from AFV Club.

Superb work on an interesting subject. The tank, the weathering, the groundwork are all first-rate.

Thanks for sharing, welcome to Armorama - and don't be a stranger! If this model is anything to go by, I for one would love to see more of your work.

I also followed your link - but it's all Greek to me! Would be interested to know how you did this one. And I can't believe it's taken over 2 weeks for this to get a single comment.

Hi Chontos,

great model of a great subject!
Do you have a list of amendments you did to get a MOLF?
looks like the cross wind sensonr is the major thing?
There's far too few photos of that venerable beast

thanks - Andreas -

Andreas danke.
Seit 30 Jahren ist der M48 Patton im Dienste der griechischen Armee in verschiedenen Versionen. Von A1bis A5. Von der letzteren A5 waren noch 700 im Dienst und mussten reduziert werden wegen des CFE Abkommens. Weil aber der M48 sehr zuverlessig und beliebt war, entschied man sich für eine Weiterentwicklungen zum A5 Molf. So wurden 400 Stück modifiziert und wieder eingesetzt. Molf steht für MODULAR LASER FIRE CONTROL (STN Atlas Elektronik) und ist fast das gleiche System wie beim Leopard 2. Außerdem wurden Nebelmittelwurfanlagen (deutsches und amerikanisches System), meteorologischer Sensor, Lafette fürs MG3 und Thermoschutz der 105m Kanone eingebaut. Diese letzte und beste Version des M48 soll noch bis 2010 im Einsatz bleiben.
