M48A1 Patton - 主战坦克 - 预装备

Model Description:
This download contains a highly detailed model of an M48A1 Patton with the 90mm cannon. Two versions of the turret are included: one with, and one without the fabric dust cover around the mantlet. Documentation and references for the real vehicle were rigorously studied to make the model as geometrically accurate as possible without sacrificing printability or durability.
 
The model is designed for resin 3D printing comes natively in 20mm (1/72) scale and includes a supported version for this size. Furthermore, the files are pre-hollowed, reducing the material requirements, improving the probability of print success, and ensuring no voids are present within the geometry.
 
The file is designed to be detailed enough to hold up well at larger scales however, including the common 28mm (~1/56) scale. Larger scales will have to be manually supported at present, however a future goal of TCR designs is to include supported files for larger scales, as well as a less-detailed version designed to function on FDM (filament) printers.

Historical Description:
The M48 Patton was an American Main Battle Tank (MBT) introduced in 1952. The vehicle was meant to replace older medium tanks used by the United States, such as Sherman and Pershing. Nearly 12,000 M48s were produced between 1952 and 1961, before the vehicle was replaced by the M60 Patton. Early versions of the vehicle (M48A1 - M48A3) used the M41 90mm cannon, while later versions would see an upgrade to the M68 105mm cannon. The M48A1 featured a gasoline engine which produced 650 horsepower, later versions would be given more powerful engines. The vehicle had decent armor, though it was introduced at a time where more sophisticated munitions had begun to make armor less effective overall.

Dimensions:
Length - 4.76"; (121mm)
Width - 1.97"; (50mm)
Height - 1.61"; (41mm)
Estimated Print Time - 6 hours

This model comes pre-supported and ready to print in 1/72 scale. Unsupported files are also included, allowing you to adjust the scale to your preference. This model is designed with resin printing in mind and is not optimized, nor tested for traditional FDM (filament) printers. The model was test printed successfully several times on an ANYCUBIC Photon Mono 4K resin printer. If you have any issues with the file, don't hesitate to reach out to me at tcr.designs.2022@gmail.com
