Star Decals 35-C1074 M48A3 Late model 1/35 – US Marines Vietnam Decals

The Star Decals 35-C1074 set was created with modelers in mind who build replicas of the M48A3 Late model tank in 1/35 scale. This set features high-quality water slide decals dedicated to United States Marine Corps vehicles, used by units that operated in Vietnam during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The product includes emblems and detailed painting schemes for tanks from the 1st Tank Battalion of the USMC, which were widely deployed during the Vietnam War.

The M48A3 Patton Late Model (with raised commander's cupola) is one of the most distinctive modifications of the American main battle tank in the Vietnam War era. In this configuration, the tanks were used by the USMC from 1967–1975, serving in base defense against Viet Cong attacks and supporting offensive actions by American infantry. These tanks participated in many well-known operations like Operation Hue City, and their colors and markings differed depending on the unit and period of service.
