Italeri 6498 - 1/35 M3A1 Stuart Scale Overview

The Italeri 6498 M3A1 Stuart model captures the character of the Allied light tank in 1/35 scale, offering a faithful miniature suitable for display or integration into small dioramas representing campaigns like North Africa.

Operational Notes and Performance

Historically the M3 Stuart entered service in 1941, fitted with a 250 hp air cooled engine that allowed speeds up to roughly 60 km/h. Its armour peaked near 45mm and it carried a 37mm main gun, which relegated it to scouting roles and infantry support where heavier enemy armour was limited.

Why Modellers Choose This Kit

Modellers favour this Italeri release for its clean moulding and assembly options. The construction process rewards careful painting and detailing, and the finished model presents well on a shelf or as part of a battlefield vignette.
