M5A1 Stuart Early

¹⁄16

Sunday, August 09, 2020 - 11:57 PM UTC

Fast on the heels of the Stuart late production release in 1/16th scale from Classy Hobby we now get the Early Version as well.

I have only just got my hands on the M5A1 Stuart light tank late version from Classy Hobby in 1/16th scale and already the Early version of the Stuart is following fast on the heels of it. This offering includes a turret interior including the basket and so having the large hath open is an option worth thinking about. We also get working suspension and individual workable track links to add a little shine.

Nice, though I wouldn't know where to display it. I'll stick with 1/35, thank you.

The plastic looks pretty cool! At about twice the size of a 1:35 kit this shouldn't be much bigger on the shelf than a 1:35 KT, and the bigger scale tracks should be less insane to build. But I shudder to think of the price...

$150 range for the late kit.

I got my late version for good money from MBK in Germany.

Not to toot my own horn, but if you want to see how it goes together I have a complete build of the late version which is basicly the same thing . Look in the WW2 allied section of the Forem. I know I screwed up and should have put it in the 1/16th. large scale section. Maby the guys running this site could move it. I'm not to good with computers. Regards. Donald

Followed you built Donald, thanks for posting! This is the one Version I was waiting for. Only quiggle is the open backed road wheels and the clean up here and there. Really like their kits, classy! Hopefully a Jeep as well. See one creeping in to the box art! Sol models too dear for me.
