TEAM YANKEE AMERICAN M103 HEAVY TANK PLATOON (PLASTIC x5)
The M103 heavy tank was developed to meet the threat of Soviet heavy armour, offering long-range firepower and thick protection unmatched by other U.S. tanks of its era. Built to counter vehicles like the IS-series and T-10, the M103 brought a formidable battlefield presence designed for extreme-range anti-tank engagements.
Armed with the powerful M58 120mm gun, the M103 delivered exceptional penetration and accuracy. Later upgrades produced the M103A2 variant, adding improved optics, a stereoscopic rangefinder, and a ballistic computer. With the adoption of the same diesel engine used in the M60, the tank achieved enhanced range and mobility while maintaining its heavy-armour profile.
Product Info:

The M103’s combination of firepower and resilience makes it a standout choice for defensive lines or dominant spearhead assaults.
About the Vehicle:
The M103 offered some of the most substantial protection of any U.S. tank during the Cold War, including up to 10 inches of turret armour and a hull front angled for maximum deflection. Its 120mm gun was capable of penetrating nearly any contemporary heavy tank, making it a superior long-range threat in open-field engagements.
