8072 Stuart Mk.VI 1/48 scale conversion set - a close up

   The 1/48 M5A1 Stuart from Tamiya is indeed a very nice little model. It lacks, however, a few alternative parts necessary to build other versions than just the early US-made one. So here comes to help our conversion sets, now the first one, with more to come which will portray the M5A1 Stuart Late in US Army and French Armée de Terre colours. 

   Set 8072 displayed here now offers parts for the British variety known as the Stuart Mk.VI. The decal sheet brings you markings to choose from four machines. The British one belonged to the Irish Guards while the other options cover  a machine of the Polish Exile Government plus two Stuarts as used by the ČSOB (Czechoslovak Aroured Brigade) bearing the names Pirát (Pirate) and Praha (Prague).

   It is my pleasure to use this opportunity now to say our huge thank you to all our customers for their cooperation and support in 2021. The year that has just passed was a very successful year for our company and we hope for no less in the new year, too. Why so? Well, do believe me that all the models we have in the pipeline for 2022 are no less attractive than those we released past year. You can start looking for the whole new family of the 1/72 MirageIII/5 kits, yet one more version of the massive (and massively successful, too) 1/72 Sunderland kit, believe me or not, the first releases of the two-stage Mosquitos are expected as well. The SH team are also working on a new Hudson tooling, and mentioning the quarter scale, we will have for you the gun turret- and bomb bay-equipped version of the Siebel Si 204E/Aero C-3B and also a whole new Baltimore in several versions, plus the Piper L-4, SIAI-Marchetti SF-260 and a somewhat improved Heinkel He 177.  The crème de la crème will ...
