This new versatile plastic kit can be assembled as either an M5 Stuart, M5A1 Stuart or an E7-7 Mechanised Flamethrower, and is suitable for several Bolt Action armies, including US, British, Soviet and Chinese.

The chief difference between the M5 and the popular M3 was its Cadillac engine. It also benefited from an improved armour layout; in the M5A1 version the lower hull casting was now up to 64mm thick in places. Other improvements include wider access hatches, more interior space for the crew and ammunition stowage. The 37mm gun was unable to penetrate late war German tanks but was still useful against lighter vehicles, and with up to 3 machine guns the M5 was very effective in the recce role for which it was designed.

In games of Bolt Action the M5/M5A1 is a light tank (Damage Value 8+), with Reinforced Front Armour  and can take the Recce special rule. The E7-7 is a light tank with a flamethrower and coaxial MMG. Both can be included in Armoured Platoons.
