Tamiya 35042 1/35 M3 Stuart Light Tank Kit  [35042]

Accurate 1/35 Representation of the M3 Stuart

The Tamiya 35042 M3 Stuart model captures the compact profile and fine surface detail of the original light tank at 1/35 scale, giving modellers a faithful kit for display or competition builds.

Modelled Elements from the Period

This kit highlights the M3's signature features, including the four VVSS bogies and period turret shapes. Although later armoured vehicles surpassed it, the M3 was important early in the war. The kit provides historically correct turret choice such as the rounded D39273 variant.

Build Flow and Authentic Touches

Parts are engineered for a realistic build, mirroring the original vehicle layout and offering details like the Guiberson diesel engine arrangement. That engine representation is valuable for builders interested in technical authenticity and historical rigs used by U.S. forces.
