This is another re-release of a classic from Italeri.

Italeri’s 1/35 scale M47 Patton comes complete with a drop in engine and transmission, which allows the engine hatches to be posed open, showing plenty of detail.

The turret has two hatches that can be left open, and there is some breech detail. Italeri's vinyl tracks are included as well.
