Snapshot: Italeri 6587 M24 Chaffee in 1/35

The Italeri 6587 kit provides a 1/35 scale model of the M24 Chaffee, emphasising the light tank's agility and profile seen during the Korean War. Italeri's sculpting aims to reflect the vehicle used by US and allied formations in the early postwar years.

Significance on the battlefield and value for modellers

The M24 replaced earlier light tanks and offered improved mobility and crew protection. For modellers, the Italeri kit offers a compact subject with enough surface detail to make painting and weathering exercises rewarding.

What to expect when building

Recommended for intermediate to advanced builders, this kit includes accurate moulded parts representing the turret, hull and running gear. Careful assembly and finishing will produce a strong display model or diorama subject.

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
  • Part Count: Detailed components
Not ideal for a complete beginner. The kit has small and delicate parts that require patience and some glue experience.
Yes. Its size and detail make it a good choice for battlefield dioramas depicting Korean War scenes or postwar settings.
Aftermarket items like photoetched details and improved tracks can elevate realism but are optional depending on your desired finish.
Use subtle chipping, dust washes and light mud effects around the suspension to reflect operational wear without overdoing it.
