MiniArt 35425 M3 STUART LIGHT TANK, INITIAL PROD 1/35 is a highly advanced plastic model kit, faithfully representing the historic American M3 Stuart light tank from the initial production period. The model is made in the popular 1/35 scale, allowing for precise details and accurate reproduction of even the complex mechanical elements.

The M3 Stuart was the primary light tank of the United States Army and the Allies in the early years of World War II (used by, among others, the USA, Great Britain, the USSR, and Italy). The tank was deployed to the front lines starting in 1941 – seeing action in North Africa, the Pacific, and Western Europe. The M3 Stuart gained a reputation as a fast, agile, and reliable tank even in difficult climatic conditions.

The featured MiniArt 35425 set is a plastic model made from the highest quality materials. It is characterized by extremely detailed reproduction of the turret, hull, tracks, and armament components. The model realistically renders weld lines and metal surface textures. Thanks to the transparent plastic parts, details such as viewports can be faithfully reproduced. The kit includes photo-etched (PE) parts, allowing you to replicate delicate details such as covers or small handles, significantly enhancing the realism of the final result. A decal sheet with four historical paint schemes is included, offering individual adjustment of the model to your favorite version of the tank. All hatches can be mounted either closed or open, enabling you to display the vehicle in various diorama settings.
