Preview Mirage Kit 726089 – US Light Tank Stuart Mk.VI M5A1
By Henk Timmerman / HenkofHolland
The M5A1 Light Tank is an other variant of the M3 / M5 Light Tank versions.
Some of the sprue’s as suspension, lowerhull etc are identical as other M3 / M5 versions .
Most of the hatches on the hull and turret are opened.
The kit comes in the traditional size Mirage carton box.
Most important differences in the variants are moderations / changes in upperhull and or turrets.
The variants of the Mirage M3 / M5 US Light Tanks are allready more times reviewed, so I will refer for more information and or comments, to available previews / reviews.
