After reading a little of Armor In Korea,from Squardon!
A lot of mention of M-46s so who makes an M-46 in plastic I did a google search but no luck.
I know that the M48 which is patton tank is out their but have no M-46s in the stack
So who makes one???
Did I miss something or what?
Hope I am not making a mistake on this as a lot were used in Korean War!!

M-46 has been done a few times, but only once in 1/35 scale. DML is the kit to get.

Lindberg did a 1/32 scale motorized M46 and a 1/48 scale rubberband powered one too. They also included one in their LST, that I think was around 1/125.

Aurora did an old 1/48 scale one as well. I have most of these Pattons (can't find the 1/125 one in my stash), it is one of my favorite Patton variants.

The Lindberg 1/32 scale one gets reissued every so often, more of a toy than anything. It is cool though, the turret traverses back and forth as the tank travels forward.

Thanks to Ken and Rob.
Will look into the Dragon kit!
Strange a well used tank design in the Korean war at least but not many models of it!!!

I built dragon T-26E3 and have both the M-26 and the M46 kits. Only thing bad about the M46 is the tracks...indi links (which I like) but SEPERATE guidehorns (AARRGGHH). Otherwise, it looks to be a very enjoyable build.
