Tamiya Plastic Model Kit
M5A1 With 4 Figures (1/35) 35313
This 1/35 scale Tamiya kit depicts the U.S. M5A1 Stuart light tank, a refined development of the earlier M3 Stuart. Powered by twin 300hp Cadillac V8 gasoline engines, the M5A1 could reach speeds of up to 58km/h, making it ideal for reconnaissance and fast-moving support roles. Armed with a 37mm main gun and two 7.92mm machine guns, it also featured additional armour protection around the turret-mounted anti-aircraft gun.
- Accurately reproduced welded and bolted hull and turret details.
- Includes Normandy hedgerow cutters for historical accuracy.
- Four figures included: one operating the anti-aircraft gun and a three-man mortar team.
- Detailed running gear, suspension, and armament for an authentic build.
- Ideal for dioramas depicting U.S. operations in Italy and North-West Europe.
History
Introduced in 1943, the M5A1 Stuart served extensively with U.S. and Allied forces during WWII. Built to replace the M3 Stuart, it featured improved armour, a redesigned hull, and a more powerful dual-engine powertrain. While lightly armed compared to medium and heavy tanks, its speed and agility made it an effective reconnaissance vehicle. The M5A1 played key roles in the Italian campaign and the Normandy invasion, where some were equipped with hedgerow cutters to break through bocage terrain. Over 6,800 units were produced, and many continued service with other nations post-war, reflecting the tank’s robust and reliable design.
