NEW RELEASE: M5 Stuart!​

The M5 Stuart was the American Armies evolutionary light tank. Although being thin armored it was quite fast and could be devastating to light skinned targets. Infantry elements being the most vulnerable to its myriad of machine guns and 37mm gun. While outclassed by mid-war it continued to serve with distinction as a recon vehicle throughout the war. Our M5 of the the 4th Armored division brings forward a quintessential Stuart AFV to your display. Available in Normandy and Winter finish.

Made in Austin the casting detail and weathering is another leap forward. We have changed our finish utilizing a full flattener for those that prefer that familiar flat surface finish. Dust and rust abound, as well as dry brush. This little honey ( no pun intended ) comes with two crew and all the goodies pictured. We've even added open and closed hatches to add to the flexibility in display. Shipping in our September catalog it will be available for pre-order in just a few weeks.

Cheers!

Looks very nice Brian like the weathering effects on this one. Has the thrown wheel option ended as part of the CS armour?

Thanks Mitch, no we'll get some thrown track options cooking again. We wanted to maintain our price point on this one and I really wanted it to come with two figures so we had to sort of choose in order to bring her right.

Cheers!

Weathering looks real good. Flat finish is the only way to go! Like that it doesn't have a thrown track,makes the ones that do more desireable. Keith

Brian...

Thanks for the response. I think you choose right this time and its a very nice finish. I don't know about others but at the price point I would prefer an extra figure than the thrown track but, I know many who like this feature and, its a company trademark.
