75mm M48 & M72 Ammo W/Wooden Crates
1/35th scale
Kit No #53078
M48 High Explosive Shell:
The M48 was a thin-walled, forged steel high-explosive shell packed with about 1.49 to 1.5 pounds of TNT. It relied on a choice of super-quick or point-detonating delays to maximize blast and fragmentation. This made it exceptionally lethal against infantry, field fortifications, and soft-skinned vehicles.

M72 Armor-Piercing Shot
The M72 was a solid, uncapped armor-piercing projectile equipped with a tracer. It relied purely on kinetic energy to punch through steel, capable of penetrating roughly 100mm of armor at point-blank range. However, its performance dropped sharply against angled armor and at longer distances.

This new boxing from MiniArt:
This accessory set includes 75mm M48 and M72 ammunition with detailed wooden transport crates. It is suitable for enhancing Allied tank builds, ammunition loading scenes, supply areas, and workshop dioramas. These are suitable for M4 Sherman, M3 Lee/Grant, M24 Chaffee, and Churchill Mk. VI–VII

The parts of the kit on ten small sprues: 15 x M48 and 10 x M72 shells are included.
5 x empty shells and 10 x wooden crates included
Decals are provided for the stencils on the ammo and the crates...
