Italeri 1/35 M24 Chaffee Model Kit

The M24 Chaffee replaced the outdated M5 Stuart as the U.S. Army's standard light tank from late 1944, seeing action in the Battle of the Bulge and the Rhine crossings. Its lightweight 75mm gun offered excellent firepower for its class, while the compact torsion-bar suspension gave it remarkable agility. Post-war, the Chaffee served extensively with French forces in Indochina, notably at Dien Bien Phu. Italeri's 1/35 kit features the well-proportioned turret and the distinctive lightweight hull.
