includes one M42 (twin 40mm), one British head sprue to represent Jordanian crew for Fate Of A Nation & one America head sprue to represent American crew for Tour Of Duty.
The experience of the Korean War led US Army officials to begin the phasing out of the M24 Chaffee in favour of designs based around the more modern M41 Walker Bulldog. Included in the M24 family of vehicles was the M19 GMC.
Developed towards the end of the Second World War, the M19 was armed with two of the highly effective 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns mounted in an open-topped turret capable of traversing 360º.
With each gun capable of firing 120 rounds per minute, the 40mm rounds of the M2A1 Bofors proved devastating against both unarmoured ground targets and massed infantry attacks. The M42 known as the Duster to American forces serving in Vietnam also saw service during the Six-Day War with the Jordanian Army.
