Italeri 6587 - 1/35 M24 Chaffee Tank Korean War Model Kit - Compact Cold War Armour Kit  [IT-6587S]

Overview of the Italeri 1/35 M24 Chaffee kit

The Italeri 6587 M24 Chaffee kit recreates the light tank in 1/35 scale with a focus on the Chaffee's defining silhouette and operational role in post-WWII conflicts. Italeri's moulding captures the vehicle that provided reconnaissance and support during the Korean War.

Historical context and modeller appeal

Introduced near the end of the second world war, the M24 replaced older light tanks and saw extended use during Korea. For kit builders, this Italeri release combines a compact chassis with well-defined details that reward careful assembly and finishing.

Assembly and finishing tips

Designed for intermediate to skilled modellers, the kit includes finely modelled parts that require precise gluing and painting. The turret and suspension parts are faithful to the prototype, allowing for realistic weathering and detailing work.
