The M3A3 version featured a new welded turret with a stabilization system, an enlarged hull, and increased ammunition and fuel capacity. It was mainly used by the US Army, but numerous units were supplied to allies under the Lend-Lease program (including the United Kingdom, USSR, France, and China). The M3A3 Stuart saw its \"baptism of fire\" in North Africa, as well as during operations in Italy, France, and the Pacific.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAFV Club 35053 M3A3 Stuart Model Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: 1\/35\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of use: United States and Allies (United Kingdom, USSR, France, China)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHistorical period: World War II (mainly 1942–1945)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCategory: Plastic assembly model kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: high-quality polystyrene plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlue and paints not included – sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRich in details – realistically rendered armor textures, road wheels, turret, and exterior details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdditional photo-etched parts to increase the model's realism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOption to build various marking versions – decals included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed turret interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommendation – For Whom?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe AFV Club 35053 M3A3 Stuart model kit is intended for intermediate and advanced military modelers seeking a precisely reproduced World War II tank.
