DD395
King & Country
Not yet Released - expected in mid-July.
The M5A1 Stuart was a U.S. Army light tank that saw extensive action during WWⅡ.
This particular K&C model is the fourth representation of the ‘Stuart’ and expected to be the best one yet.
Armed with a 37mm main gun as well as 3 x 30mm machine guns the M5A1 was primarily designated for reconnaissance, scouting and infantry support duties. Almost 7,000 were produced and they fought extensively in both the European and Asia/Pacific ‘Theatres of War’.
The King & Country ‘Bocage Buster’ has, of course, a quartet of steel forks welded onto the lower front of the vehicle and comes complete with a tank commander figure in the turret. Adorned with the nickname ‘Sloppy Joe’ it will make a very useful addition to any D.Day collection of K&C infantry and armour battling through that dangerous Normandy countryside in the summer of 1944.
