Description

This set contains six M5 Stuart light tanks in 12mm/1:144 scale with a decal sheet for use in Allied tank formations. The M5 Stuart was fast and manoeuvrable and was primarily used for reconnaissance, flank protection, and infantry support. Its 37mm gun and light armour limited its role in direct tank combat against German vehicles.

What's included

• 6 M5 Stuart Leichtpanzer (Kunststoff)
• 1 Decalbogen (Abziehbilder)

Material: Plastic

Product details

Background & context

Der M5 entstand 1942 als Umbau des M3 Stuart: zwei Cadillac-V8 statt des knappen Sternmotors, dazu ein Automatikgetriebe. Schnell und zuverlässig war er damit, gegen deutsche Panzer half die 37-mm-Kanone trotzdem nicht mehr. Also fuhr er Aufklärung, sicherte Flanken und schoss für die Infanterie MG-Nester und Stützpunkte zusammen. Das 70th Tank Battalion nutzte ihn 1943 auf Sizilien, das 745th Tank Battalion von der Normandie bis zum Kriegsende.

On the tabletop

The six M5 Stuarts in 12 mm make a light American tank platoon. Their 37 mm gun and thin armour are not enough for a straight fight with German tanks. Their strength is speed: in games you use them to scout, secure flanks and support infantry against light targets. Enemy tanks are left to Shermans or tank destroyers, and the decal sheet is included.
