Rubicon: M5A1 Stuart / M5A1 Recce (28mm)

The Allied Light Tank That Fought on Every Front

The M5A1 Stuart was the definitive production variant of America's light tank series — fast, reliable, and widely exported under Lend-Lease to British Commonwealth and Soviet forces. Serving from North Africa and the Pacific to North-West Europe, the Stuart earned a reputation for mechanical dependability even as its armament became increasingly outclassed by heavier enemy tanks. The M5A1 Recce variant removed the turret entirely, converting the hull into a fast reconnaissance vehicle prized for its speed and low profile.

This Rubicon Miniatures kit lets you build either variant in highly detailed 1:56 scale (28mm) ABS plastic.
