M48A2/A2C

M48A2/A2C M48A2/A2C

Der M48 „Patton“ war der erste grundlegend neu entwickelte

Kampfpanzer der USA nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg. Es gab zwar

noch große Ähnlichkeit mit dem Vorgänger M47, doch war dieser

nur als Zwischenlösung gedacht. Sowohl der M47 als auch der M48

gehörten zur Anfangsausstattung der jungen Bundeswehr. Der

M48 bildete sogar in den kampfwertgesteigerten Versionen A2

und A2C bis weit in die 1970er Jahre das Rückgrat der Panzertrup-

pe. Die Version A2, ab 1956 gebaut, hatte noch immer einen Ben-

zinmotor, doch durch Verbesserungen am Motor (Einspritz- statt

Saugprinzip) und erhöhten Tankinhalt konnte der Fahrbereich ge-

genüber dem Vorgänger in etwa verdoppelt werden. Die auffällig-

sten Änderungen waren die komplett neue Motorabdeckung so-

wie die Rückwand. Bei der Version A2C entﬁ el zudem das Ketten-

spannrad. Zunächst wurden die M48A2/A2C von der Bundeswehr

im Originalzustand genutzt, erst später kamen bundeswehrspezi-

ﬁ sche Änderungen hinzu (Versionsbezeichnung M48A2CG). Der

M48A2/A2C verfügte über einen optischen Entfernungsmesser,

welcher vom Kommandanten bedient wird. Zudem war es auch

Kommandantenaufgabe, das 12,7 mm MG in der Kommandanten-

kuppel einzusetzen. Der M48A2/A2C galt als mittlerer Kampfpan-

zer mit hinreichender Panzerung, aber mit der 90 mm Kanone als

leicht unterbewaffnet. Sein Potential ließ jedoch weiteres Kampf-

wertsteigern zu, was in der Bundeswehr schlussendlich zu der Ver-

sion M48A2GA2 führte. Die Besatzungen schätzten vor allem sein

großzügiges Platzangebot und den großen Munitionsvorrat von 60

Patronen.

Technische Daten:

Länge: 8,8 m

Gewicht: 47,6 t

Besatzung: 4 Mann

Bewaffnung: 90 mm M41 Kanone; 12,7 mm MG; 7,62 mm coax-MG

After the Second World War the M48 „Patton“ was the United States

ﬁ rst essentially newly developed Main Battle Tank (MBT). There

were still many similarities to its M47 predecessor but this was only

intended as an interim solution. Both the M47 and the M48 were

part of the initial equipment of the newly formed Bundeswehr. In

the modiﬁ ed A2 and A2C combat versions the M48 formed the

backbone of the German armoured forces until well into the 1970s.

Built in 1956 the A2 version still had a petrol engine. Compared to

its predecessor the combat range could be approximately doubled

by uprating the engine (fuel injected instead of naturally aspirated)

and installing larger fuel tanks. The most notable changes were

the all-new engine cover and the rear end-plate. On the A2C ver-

sion the tensioning wheel was also omitted. The Bundeswehr‘s ﬁ rst

M48A2/A2C were used in original condition, but later Bundeswehr

speciﬁ c modiﬁ cations were added (model designation M48A2CG).

The M48A2/A2C had an optical rangeﬁ nder, which was operated

by the commander. It was also the commanders task to operate

the 12.7mm MG in the commander’s cupola. The M48A2/A2C was

considered to be a Medium Battle Tank with sufﬁ cient armour but

with the 90 mm cannon slightly under-gunned. Its potential how-

ever allowed further modiﬁ cations to improve its combat effective-

ness. This led ultimately to the Bundeswehr version M48A2GA2.

The crews particularly appreciated its generous interior space and

the large ammunition supply amounting to 60 rounds.

Length: 8.8 m (28ft 9ins)

Should I paint my Revell model before or after it is built? Verified
