Excellent packaging and great model to build. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to build kit with accessories *by C***N on March 26, 2024* The Tamiya M5A1 was an easy kit to put together. Everything fit together nicely as they should. I love the extra accessories that were included like helmets, shovels, bazooka, and Tommy gun. There are A LOT of little utility hooks to glue onto the tank so a pair of tweezers would definitely be helpful! The only problem I encountered was the mortar loader being unstable. Cutting a flat piece of plastic from the sprue and gluing it to his feet remedied this problem as can be seen my picture. This was a very fun kit to put together! ## Frequently Bought Together - Tamiya 35313 1/35 US Light Tank M5A1 Plastic Model Kit - TAMIYA Jeep Willys 1/4 Ton 4X4 Hobby Model Kit for ages 168 months to 1200 months - Model Color WWII American Armour & Infantry --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/4311528-tamiya-35313-1-35-us-light-tank-m5a1-plastic-model](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/4311528-tamiya-35313-1-35-us-light-tank-m5a1-plastic-model) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-09-22*
