Bridgelayer M48 A2 AVLB 1:35 Das Werk DW35025

Plastic military model for assembly: Brückenlegepanzer M48 A2 AVLB 1:35 Das Werk DW35025

This plastic model of the German bridge-laying tank Brückenlegepanzer M48 A2 AVLB is from the Cold War period. This vehicle was developed on the chassis of the M48 Patton tank by removing the turret and installing a specialized scissors bridge-laying system.

The Brückenlegepanzer M48 was a key element of the Bundeswehr's engineering equipment until the introduction of the Biber system. The 20-meter bridge allowed vehicles weighing up to 60 tons (MLC60) to overcome terrain obstacles. The process of deploying and retracting the span was carried out using an advanced hydraulic system.

Model characteristics:

• Scale: 1:35
• Ability to build the bridge in any position (folded, in the process of deployment, or deployed)
• Includes track type tracks
• Painting options for 4 Bundeswehr units and 1 Belgian Army unit
• Detailed reproduction of features characteristic of the German army
