It combined sloped turret and hull armor with a 75 mm main gun originally developed for the B-25 bomber. Its torsion-bar suspension was unusual for a U.S. tank of the period. The Chaffee entered combat before the end of World War II as Allied forces advanced through France and Western Europe and fought in Italy. It later served in conflicts including the Korean War and the Indochina War.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/35 M24 Chaffee plastic model assembly kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommander and loader torso figures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhoto-etched rear rack part\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecals for three European Theater marking options\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNeeded to Complete\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel cement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssembly tools and finishing supplies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorld War II M24 configuration based on extensive research\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCast surface patterns on the turret front and gun shield, with detailed weld lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparate main gun breech and transceiver parts for the turret interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlide-molded fender sides and gun barrel for a detailed finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional hull-side sand shields\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear light lenses and cupola vision blocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhoto-etched rear stowage rack and molded tow cable parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssembly-type tracks with one-piece straight sections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo torso figures and three marking options\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eModel Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe turret rear stowage box uses separate parts, and the idler wheels are split into inner and outer halves to reproduce details such as the wheel-side holes.
