Hi everybody

Help me about the light of M48 !
Please tell me which plastic kit can i get ?

I found this picture. It's M48A3 Tamiya plastic kit. I have the same kit but the light is different.



Thanks all

The early pattern search light as fitted to USMC tanks in 1966-67 was the pattern you see in the model photo shown here. These drum-shaped lights were replaced by the box-shaped light as shown in the Tamiya M48A3 kit by 1968. The model builder has either scratch built it, or adapted the search light from the DML Dragon M46 Patton kit.

Thanks for your useful info.

I'm try to find from ebay. Is it ?

Yes, Dragon only offered one M46 kit. It has not been updated like the M26 kit as yet, though it may appear eventually in a Cyber Hobby orange box.

Hi

It was a 18" searchlight made by Crouse-Hind (model 44676C).
Here's one fitted to a M47 :


Accurate Armour makes a M46 fitted with it. Maybe they could sell you the searchlight separately ? No harm asking
AA M46 kit
