		The M5A1 "Stuart VI" was a light tank with thin armor and was designed to be used for infantry support and reconnaissance.
		The M5 was never intended to battle head to head with German armor and its tiny 37mm gun was not effective against most German tanks.
		The M5 weighed 15.3 tons, carried a 37 mm gun, a.30 caliber machine gun in the bow, a.30 caliber machine gun mounted coaxially with the main gun and a.30 caliber machine gun on the top rear of the turret for infantry to use when standing on the back deck of the tank.

		The first was based on the M3 half-track and the other on the M3 Stuart Light Tank using the 75mm main gun.
		Because of the need for an "All Terrain Vehicle" that had a sufficient amount of protection, the light tank was chosen and after some consideration, the order was changed to the M5 light tank.
		The turret was not able to withstand the recoil of the higher caliber, so the turret ring was expanded and the turret was left open at the expense of the two hatches on the main deck.

	M24 Chaffee Light Tank
		The M24 Chaffee -- arguably the best light tank of World War II -- was a fast light armoured vehicle with the ability to deliver relatively large caliber direct fire with the excellent 75 mm M6 gun.
		Light tanks, now obsolete, were used for reconnaissance missions in WWII.
		At the outset of the Korean War American forces equiped with M24 Chaffees performed poorly against the enemy's T-34/85s, and these US units were soon augmented with M26 Pershings and M46 Pattons, along with M4A3E8 Shermans with the long 76mm gun.

		The M5 light tank, introduced in 1942, was fitted with a larger turret and additional radio equipment early in 1943 to become the M5A1.
		The M5 became the basis of several variants, generally substituting other weapons for the 37mm gun originally fitted in the M5 turret.
		Chief among these were the Howitzer Motor Carriage M8, which mounted a short 75mm howitzer; and the T8 reconnaissance vehicle, with a.50cal machine gun on a mounting ring in place of the standard M5 turret.

		The Stuart series was the end of a line of American light tanks based on a British Vickers design developed in the inter-war years.
		US Army thinking on tanks had them under the control of the infantry and used to support the footsoldier, and as it was not expected that America would be involved in a major European war they were small, lightly armed and armoured but cheap.
		These technical matters are told alongside accounts of the tanks in action, starting with the early desert battles and on through all theatres to the war's end.

		The colour plates are nicely done and cover a variety of schemes, from an M3 of 8 Kings Royal Irish Hussars in the desert in November 1941 to an M5A1 of 601 Tank Destroyer Batallion on the Volturno in Italy, October 1943.

		These new releases are a welcome addition and include an Italian L6/40 light tank, Italian Semovente L40 assault gun, two Italian ammunition carriers (one armoured, one trailer), a US M5 Stuart light tank, and two trailers suitable for any nation.
		The tanks come in four separate parts: the hull/superstructure, two track sections and a turret (the Semovente and ammo carrier have only three parts each as they don't have turrets).
		I sold-off my 20mm WW2 collection a while back, which is unfortunate as these would have been a great addition and the low cost would have meant being able to field more vehicles for the same price as similar models from other manufacturers.

		The former were downright awful, with the M3 medium tanks and M3, M5A1 and M8 kits all suffering from having the very noticeable end connectors attached to the centers of the track links, and not the track link ends.
		These two sets cover nearly all of the primary options for the M3 series light tanks, the M5 series light tanks, the M8 75mm HMC, and the derivative vehicles like the M5 13-Ton High Speed Tractor.
		With the other M48 series tank tracks, the end connectors were set up on the sprues so that a number of links could be assembled at one time in a near jig-like arrangement.
