Recreate one of the U.S. Army's finest light tanks of World War II with the Tamiya 1/35 M24 Chaffee – European Theater. Officially adopted in 1944 as the successor to the M3/M5 Stuart, the M24 combined excellent mobility, sloped armor, and a powerful 75mm gun, proving itself during the Battle of the Bulge, the Italian Campaign, and the final push into Germany. Designed using extensive research of a surviving full-size vehicle, Tamiya's latest tooling faithfully captures the Chaffee's compact profile with exceptional detail. Features include realistic cast armor textures, finely reproduced weld seams, a detailed turret interior with gun breech and radio equipment, slide-molded components, and a photo-etched rear stowage rack.
