Add the workhorse M5A1 Stuart light tank to your 1/48 scale armour collection with this detailed plastic model kit. Representing the successor to the M3 Stuart, this kit captures the M5A1's distinctive high profile and sloped front armour, accurately modelled based on research of the actual vehicle.

Measuring 94mm long, the kit features a well-detailed turret equipped with the 37mm main gun, a 7.62mm machine gun, and characteristic track grousers mounted on the side. The suspension and hull details are crisply reproduced, and the tracks assemble easily using a link-and-length system where the straight sections are moulded as single parts.

Included is a torso figure of the tank commander to add life to your model, along with waterslide decals providing markings for two different tanks serving on the French front during the summer of 1944. Build a compact yet historically significant piece of Allied armour from World War II.
