Tamiya 1/35 Chaffee Euro Theatre

The Tamiya 1/35 M24 Chaffee Euro Theatre (HC-35391) is a finely detailed plastic model assembly kit capturing the compact, low-profile lines of this late-WWII U.S. light tank. Adopted in 1944, the M24 combined sloped armour with a 75mm main gun originally developed for the B-25 bomber, and employed a torsion bar suspension. It saw action as Allied forces advanced through France, Western Europe and Italy, with service continuing into post-war conflicts.

Based on extensive research of the real vehicle, this kit blends crisp detail with thoughtful engineering for an enjoyable build. It includes interior turret elements, assembly-type tracks, and a photo-etched mesh rack, plus two torso crew figures and three European theatre marking options.
