M47 Patton II
Roskopf 1:100 Scale Vehicle Review
The Roskopf 1:100 scale M47 Patton II medium tank features an oval turret that unfortunately completely lacks the attractive lines of the original. The model is barely recognizable as an M47.
The unusually smooth surfaces on the turret, the top of the hull, and the track guards hardly invite the eye to linger. Countless handles, hinges, latches, periscopes, fan covers, panel lines, rivets, and screws that make a model truly interesting are absent. The hatches on the turret roof look like ejector pin marks, and one quickly gets the impression that a modeler might have haphazardly and carelessly thrown this together. The only solution is to generously conceal this botched M47 tank under some attractive camouflage netting.

The Roskopf M47 tank cannot hold a candle to the truly impressive M47 produced by ROCO.
