Military Miniature Series
U.S. Light Tank M5A1 "Pursuit Operation" Set (w/4 Figures)
Leading the Chase
The M3 Stuart was the representative U.S. light tank in the early years
of WWII.
An improved version, called the M5A1, was officially accepted for
service in September 1942.
Powered by two 110hp Cadillac V8 engines, it was capable of a maximum
speed of 58km/h.
Armament consisted of a 37mm main gun and three 7.92mm machine guns,
and the turret was notable for having additional armor attached to
protect the anti-aircraft machine gun position.
6,800 examples were produced from January 1943 to June 1944 and they
served mainly in reconnaissance units on the Italian and Western
European fronts.
Some tanks used during the fighting in Normandy were seen with hedgerow
cutters attached to their hulls. |
