The AVLB (Armored Vehicle Launched Bridge) was developed in the United States and was used by the US Army and NATO allied forces from the 1960s, spanning the \u003cstrong\u003eCold War\u003c\/strong\u003e era to modern times. Its primary role was to provide mobility to armored units by rapidly deploying bridges on the battlefield—the vehicle could lay a self-supporting bridge 18 meters long in just 2–3 minutes.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The AVLB variant took part in, among others, Middle Eastern conflicts, the Vietnam War, and was widely used during NATO exercises and operations. As a modification of the famed M48 tank, the vehicle was equipped with a specialized hydraulic bridge deployment mechanism, while retaining the armor and mobility of the tank platform.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eThe Dragon 3606 model\u003c\/strong\u003e features exceptionally accurate reproduction of external details as well as deck bridge elements. The set includes parts made from high-quality plastic and photo-etched components, which make it possible to achieve realistic details such as handles, brackets, and hydraulic system elements. Precision-molded sprues allow the construction of the vehicle both in motion and in the process of deploying the bridge. Some smaller accessories may be made of metal or include photo-etched parts, enhancing the realism of the finished model. The manufacturer did not include a metal barrel in this edition since the AVLB is not equipped with main armament typical for tanks.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eScale: 1\/35\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePrototype country of origin: USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eService period: Cold War, modern era\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaterials: plastic, photo-etched parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCategory: plastic model kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eManufacturer: Dragon\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    We recommend this product to experienced modelers and all enthusiasts of modern armored vehicles and engineering technology.
