US M3 Stuart Light Tank 1/87 Scale Resin Vehicle Kit

About This Kit

This 1/87 scale resin kit depicts the M3 Stuart Light Tank, one of the most recognizable American armored vehicles of the Second World War. The model captures the tank's distinctive profile with its compact hull, dual turrets with rotating cupolas, and characteristic tracked suspension system. The kit displays both the detailed upper works and the intricate running gear with individual track links, offering modelers an opportunity to create an authentic representation of this workhorse vehicle.

The resin components are presented in gray with orange-highlighted tracks and turret, making assembly sequences and part identification straightforward. The M3 Stuart's compact dimensions translate well to this smaller scale, with all major features—including the twin gun turret arrangement, hull details, and suspension components—clearly defined for painting and weathering. The kit requires standard model assembly techniques and finishing work typical of resin vehicle kits.

This model suits collectors building WWII American armor dioramas or those expanding mechanized unit representations from North Africa through the European and Pacific theaters. The 1/87 scale integrates seamlessly with similarly proportioned figure and building sets, making it ideal for depicting motor pools, convoy scenes, or battlefield tableaus representing the U.S. Army during its critical early-war operations.

Painting & Assembly

This kit arrives unassembled and unpainted, giving you complete creative freedom. We recommend using cyanoacrylate (super glue) for resin assembly. Clean parts with warm soapy water before priming. Use a quality resin primer before painting with acrylics or enamels. Pin larger joints for a stronger bond.
