M3 Light Tank (Early/Mid-Production with Optional Auxiliary Fuel Tanks)
This kit comes with optional parts to allow construction of either:
- The Early Production version with the Hexagonal Turret
- The Mid-Production type with the Horseshoe Turret and Early Cupola
- The Mid-Production type with the Horseshoe Turret and Early Cupola and Auxiliary Fuel Tanks
It has full interior detail and all hatches are open.
A total of 5811 M3 Light Tanks were built, including 1285 with diesel engines. The M3 saw service with the Americans in the Pacific and with British in Burma, Italy and NW Europe.
M3 Light Tank (Early) - Hexagonal Turret
This early-production type of the M3 had a rivetted hexagonal turret. This type saw action with the US Army in Tunisia and in the Philippines in 1942. Ironically, captured M3s were then used by the Japanese against the liberating American forces in 1945 becoming the last M3s to be used in action.
M3 Light Tank (Mid-Production) Horseshoe Turret - Early Cupola
The mid-production type of the M3 had a welded turret and redesigned cupola. This type of M3 saw service with the Americans in the Tunisian campaign.
M3 Light Tank (Mid-Production) Horseshoe Turret - Early Cupola with Auxiliary Fuel Tanks
Following recommendations made by the British for the adaptation of fuel tanks that could be jettisoned, many vehicles in North Africa had twin 25 gallon tanks mounted on the rear hull.
