Product description Tamiya 1/35 M24 CHAFFEE [ITALERI] This is an Italeri model kit of the M24 Chaffee packaged in a Tamiya box with Tamiya instructions, plus a figure, a host of accessories, and even new and remolded parts. The M24 Chaffee was officially adopted in 1944 as a successor to the M3/5 Stuart light tanks. It was equipped with the compact 75mm gun (originally developed for the B25 Mitchell bomber) and - somewhat unusually for a U.S. AFV - torsion bar suspension. It made it into service in Europe before the cessation of hostilities in WWII, and served on and on through the Korean War and - in some places - even into the 1980s. Detailed Plastic Kit of Model 1/35 M24 Chaffee in Scale 1:35 Safety Warning Contains small parts that could be a choking hazard.

Poor quality mouldings
Found bits would not fit together such as wheel halves where one part has a circular shaft that has to mate to a non-circular offset hole on the other half. Clue is on the box where it says the parts are a "Product of Italeri" which I think means Tamiya are pointing out that's its not their usual very high standard. Also a lot of flash, and corners that are rounded suggesting tired moulds. I'd recommend buying another model as its a frustrating build. Tamiya can do better than this.
