This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.
The M5 light tank was developed in the United States, and is an improved version of the M3 light tank used by the Allies during World War II. The M3 light tank, which started production in 1941, was equipped with a star-shaped seven-cylinder air-cooled engine. A proposal was presented and adopted as the M5 light tank in February 1945. By replacing the engine, the bad habitability was resolved, and the amount of ammunition and fuel load was increased. The hull has a simple box-shaped structure to improve productivity, and the front armor plate on the hull has been improved by changing it to a single-plate type with a large slope in consideration of the start of bullet-proofing. The M5A1 light tank was improved by installing a new turret that extended the rear part to accommodate a radio, increasing the size of the hatches for the driver and co-pilot, and newly established an escape hatch on the floor of the fighting compartment. In the British Army, it was known as "Stuart VI," like the M5 light tank.
