Description
Bolt Action: M5 Stuart
This new versatile plastic kit can be assembled as either an M5 Stuart, M5A1Stuart or an E7–7 Mechanised Flamethrower, and to boot is suitable for many aBolt Action army, including US, British, Soviet and Chinese.
The Americans favoured light tanks over armoured cars for reconnaissance, andthe M5 light tanks were developed for this role. The chief difference betweenthis and the earlier vehicle was its Cadillac engine. This necessitated someredesign of the armour to fit, and the opportunity was taken to improve thearmour layout and distribution. In the M5A1 version the lower hull casting wasnow up to 64mm thick in places. Other improvements include wider access hatches,more interior space for the crew and ammunition stowage for 147 37mm rounds.Production was limited since the introduction of the M24 light tank wasimminent.
Although it counts as a light tank (Damage Value 8+) in Bolt Action, itbenefits from the Reinforced Armour special rule; when taking shots that strikethe front of the vehicle it treats its armour value as 9+ instead.
Principal service: 1943–45. Numbers manufactured: 6,810.
