Flames of War American M24 Chaffee Tank Platoon (x5 Plastic)
Fast, Light, and Ready to Scout Ahead
Historical Background:
The M24 Chaffee was developed as a replacement for the aging M5 Stuart light tank, offering a significant improvement in firepower, mobility, and crew comfort. Introduced in late 1944, the M24 featured a 75mm gun—similar to that of the early Shermans—mounted in a lightweight turret on a highly mobile chassis. Designed for reconnaissance and support roles, the Chaffee proved effective in both Europe and the Pacific, excelling in speed and versatility. While not meant to go toe-to-toe with heavy German tanks, its ability to flank, scout, and exploit gaps in enemy lines made it a valuable asset in the final Allied offensives of World War II.
