Tamiya 1/35 U.S. Light Tank M3 Stuart Late Production

Tamiya is delighted to announce this all-new model of the M3 Stuart, which was hitherto recreated by the venerable Item 35042. The M3 Stuart was manufactured from March 1943 onwards and deployed not only by U.S. forces; it also saw action in Soviet colors. The late production variant of the tank had a rounded turret design with the cupola removed. It sported a 37mm main gun, with numerous 7.62mm machine guns: one coaxial to the main gun, one on the front, on the turret and in the side sponsons on certain variants.

About the Model
• This is a 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit.
• A late production M3 Stuart with riveted hull, cupola-less turret and 7.62mm machine gun is accurately recreated, thanks to dedicated study of actual vehicles.
• Belt parts offer an accurate and fuss-free depiction of the tracks, combining with detailed drive sprocket and suspension components for a realistic finish.
• 3 marking options are tentatively planned, recreating one U.S. vehicle and two Red Army vehicles.
• Comes with a commander torso figure in U.S. tanker clothing (this was also apparently supplied to the Red Army). A choice of U.S. or Soviet head parts allows use with any of the marking options.
