This version was widely implemented by the United States Army between 1976 and 1987, mainly for National Guard and reserve units. The upgrade included the installation of the excellent M68 105mm gun and the advanced M16 fire control system. New hull elements were incorporated according to the PIP (Product Improvement Package), referencing features found on the next-generation M60A1 tanks. The M48A5 participated in NATO exercises and remained in service until the introduction of modern Abrams tanks.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose Takom 2161 M48A5?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The Takom kit stands out for its meticulous attention to detail and high-quality plastic parts.
