Supplied with a metal gun barrel, flexible track choices, and a comprehensive colours instruction sheet, this kit is designed to help create an accurate Korean War-era Chaffee with multiple marking choices.
Introduced to US Army armoured battalions in 1944 as a replacement for the M3/M5 Stuart, the M24 proved agile, robust and reliable. Its main armament was the 75 mm M6 cannon with 48 rounds, complemented by two 12.7 mm Browning machine guns. After demonstrating its capabilities in the Second World War, the Chaffee went on to serve in the Korean War, supporting M4 Shermans and M26 Pershings, and undertaking reconnaissance and close infantry support roles.

The M24 Chaffee was deployed to US Army armoured battalions from 1944 onwards to provide a light battlefield tank that could effectively replace the older M3 / M5 Stuart. The configuration of the M-24 was superior to its predecessor in so many ways that it can be considered one of the foremost light tanks that were ever produced. Agile, robust and reliable, it had as its main armament a 75mm M6 cannon with 48 rounds available, a very powerful version indeed of a “light tank”. The tank’s armament was complete with its two 12.7 mm Browning machine guns. Following the conclusion of the Second World War, where it’s capabilities had been fully demonstrated, it participated in the Korean War providing support to M4 Sherman tanks and the heavier M26 Pershing. It was also effectively utilised in advanced reconnaissance roles or providing close infantry support.
