Tamiya U.S. Light Tank M24 Chaffee European Theatre -1:35 Scale Plastic Model Kit

Build one of the U.S. Army's most capable light tanks of the Second World War with the Tamiya U.S. Light Tank M24 Chaffee European Theatre. This 1:35 scale plastic model kit faithfully recreates the M24 Chaffee, a vehicle introduced in 1944 to replace the earlier M3 and M5 Stuart light tanks.

Designed with sloped armour, a powerful 75mm main gun, and torsion bar suspension, the M24 Chaffee combined mobility with improved firepower. Entering service during the final stages of World War II, it saw action across Italy, France, and Germany before continuing its service in later conflicts including the Korean War and Indochina War.

Based on extensive research of the original vehicle, this model captures the Chaffee's distinctive low-profile appearance and includes accurately reproduced details such as cast armour textures, weld seams, gun shield, and optional fender sand shields. The kit also features a partial turret interior with the gun breech and radio equipment, along with photo-etched parts for the rear storage rack.

Supplied unpainted and requiring assembly, this static display model includes two crew figures and three marking options, allowing you to recreate vehicles serving in Italy and Germany during 1945.
