AFV Club 35S01 R.O.C. M48H CM-11 Tank (1/35)

The AFV Club 35S01 R.O.C. M48H CM-11 Tank model in 1/35 scale is a detailed plastic assembly kit representing the modern Taiwanese main battle tank, better known as the "Yung Hu" (Brave Tiger). The CM-11 is the result of Taiwanese-American cooperation and was developed specifically for the Republic of China (Taiwan) in the second half of the 1980s. It combines a modified M48A3 turret with an M60A3 chassis, along with modern electronics and a fire control system, which is why this tank is often referred to as a hybrid.

The CM-11 was designed primarily in response to the increasing threat from the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Its production coincided with the Cold War era, and the tank has been in operational service with the Taiwanese Armed Forces from around 1990 to the present day. The CM-11 version played a key role in ensuring Taiwan's defensive capabilities in the latter half of the 20th century and remains a significant component of the island's armored forces to this day.
