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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Italeri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51771376861451,"sku":"6587","price":29.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/italeri-6587-m24-chaffee-korean-war-1.jpg?v=1750695764"},{"product_id":"italeri-6761-1-35-m24-chaffee","title":"M24 Chaffee","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe M24 Chaffee tank was distributed to American Army units starting in 1944 to provide a lightweight tank on the battlefield capable of replacing the outdated M3\/M5 Stuart. The M24’s configuration was significantly different from its predecessor, and its design proved to be highly effective, to the point that it is considered one of the best light tanks ever built. Agile, robust, and reliable, it was well-armed for a “Light Tank,” featuring an M6 75mm cannon with 48 rounds available. The tank's armament was complemented by two 12.7mm Browning machine guns. It was also effectively employed in close infantry support missions and advanced reconnaissance operations. During the conflict, effective cooperation was developed between M24 units and more heavily armed armoured vehicles, such as the Sherman in its various versions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eScale is 1:35\u003cbr\u003e\n    Size of the model is 15.9cm\u003cbr\u003e\n    New decal edition\u003cbr\u003e\n    Metal gun barrel\u003cbr\u003e\n    Gluable tracks\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Italeri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51771367817483,"sku":"6761","price":27.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/italeri-6761-m24-chaffee-1.jpg?v=1750698285"},{"product_id":"tamiya-35391-1-35-m24-chaffee","title":"M24 Chaffee","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe are delighted to announce the release of a new Tamiya original Chaffee model (Item 37020 used Itareli parts). Developed as the successor to the M3\/M5 Stuart light tanks, the M24 Chaffee was formally adopted in 1944. The Chaffee employed sloped armour on both the turret and hull, and availed itself of considerable firepower in the shape of the 75mm main gun, which was originally developed for the B-25 bomber. Somewhat unusually for a U.S. tank, its designers adopted a torsion bar suspension setup. It was in time to see some action before the end of WWII, deployed as Allied forces swept through France and Western Europe, and battled in Italy. Post-war, it experienced fighting in major 20th century conflicts such as the Korean War and the Indochina War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the Model\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eThis is a 1\/35 scale plastic model assembly kit.
