1/16 Light Tank M24 Chaffee in British Service - Gecko
Gecko Models 1/16 Light Tank M24 Chaffee in British Service is a plastic kit of the American light tank as used by the British Army. Photo-etched parts and British Army decals are included. Paints and glue required for assembly are not included.
The M24 light tank entered production in 1944 as the successor to the M5 Stuart and was armed with the 75 mm M6 gun. Besides the US Army, it was supplied under Lend-Lease to the British Army, which gave it the service name Chaffee after US General Adna R. Chaffee, a pioneer of American armoured forces.
The Gecko Models kit in 1/16 scale depicts the tank in British service at the end of the Second World War. According to the manufacturer it includes photo-etched parts and decals for the WWII British Army, the suspension and track links can be built workable, and no crew figures are included. The etch covers thin parts such as the mudguards and grilles, the turret holds the main gun and the radio, and a set of tools and toolboxes and wire for the tow cables is provided; the interior is only partially represented.
The large 1/16 scale shows off the detail of the hull, turret and stowage, while the workable running gear helps seat the model on uneven diorama ground. Paints and glue required for assembly are not included.
Nationality: United Kingdom. Period: Second World War.
