1/48 U.S. Light Tank M5A1 Stuart Plastic Model Kit (TAM32606)

This 1/48-scale U.S. Light Tank M5A1 Stuart plastic model kit is designed for hobbyists who want a faithful, display‑ready representation of America’s World War II light tank. It captures the M5A1’s compact silhouette, featuring a welded hull, a turret with a 37mm gun, and detailed touches like track grousers and a 7.62mm machine gun. Front and upper hull parts plus the turret are newly molded, while the lower hull reuses components from a related 1/48 U.S. vehicle kit. When assembled, the model measures about 94mm long and 48mm wide and includes a commander figure to bring display options to life.

The kit emphasizes straightforward construction with assembly-type tracks that use one-piece straight sections, plus two decal options to depict the CAROL and CONCRETE markings of the 3rd Armored Division on the Western Front in July 1944. A commander figure with binoculars is included, and two metal weights help give the finished model a convincing heft for a balanced, display-ready exhibit.
