This is an Italeri model kit of M24 Chaffee packaged in a Tamiya box with Tamiya instructions, plus a figure, a bunch of accessories, and even new and remolded components. The M24 Chaffee ended up being formally adopted in 1944 as a successor towards M3/5 Stuart light tanks. It was designed with the compact 75mm weapon (originally developed the B25 Mitchell bomber) and - somewhat unusually for a U.S. AFV - torsion club suspension. It managed to make it into solution in European countries ahead of the cessation of hostilities in WWII, and served on as well as on through Korean War and - occasionally - also in to the 1980s.
