AK Interactive - the Age of the Main Battle Tank (AK130014)

The years after 1945 saw tank design leap forward, and out of that ferment came the Main Battle Tank. This limited-edition history by MP Robinson and Dick Taylor traces the first Western MBTs from 1960 to 1975 — the successful designs and the dead ends, the arrival of 105mm-plus guns, and the shifting priorities that saw off the old medium and heavy classes. A properly researched reference for the modeller and the armour enthusiast alike.
