Designed as a more heavily armored improvement over the M3/M5 Light Tanks, the M24 entered production in 1944. To help keep weight down, the front of the hull featured a realtively thin (approximately 1 inch thick) glacis, raked back at a 60 degree angle while armament was provided in the form of a lightweight 75mm gun, developed from the one on the B-25H Mitchell. While the larger gun was a significant improvement over that of the M5, the light armour still left the M24 vulnerable to most German tanks of the era. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
Forces of Valor's 1:32 scale M24 Chaffee Tank is a sporty looking model. The models in this series are constructed almost entirely of plastic, which allows for maximum details welding bead seams and the simulated look of cast metal seen on the guns mantlet. The 360 degree rotating turret features a moveable M2 Browning machine gun, removable crew figure, two metal antennas and pivoting metal cannon. The hull features separately applied battlefield equipment that is molded to contour the hull's surface for a realistic fit. Each release has rolling rubber tracks and wheels, and a nicely detailed metal underside with maintenance access panels.
