Star Decals 35-C1221 is a specialist set of water-slide decals in 1/35 scale, designed for customizing models of M3 Stuart and M3A1 Stuart tanks used by the United States Army. The set is dedicated to modelers building vehicles that participated in key campaigns of the Pacific Front during World War II. The decals allow you to accurately recreate the markings of vehicles from the Philippines, Bougainville, Makin Atoll, Tarawa, and Kwajalein.

Historical Context

The M3 Stuart light tank and its improved version, the M3A1, were widely used by the US Army from 1941 to 1945. These models played a vital role during operations in the Pacific, serving in challenging tropical conditions during battles for strategic islands of the Marshall and Mariana archipelagos, as well as during the Philippine campaign. They were especially notable in engagements on Bougainville, Makin Atoll, and during the landings on Tarawa and Kwajalein, where these vehicles often faced fortified Japanese positions in unusual, island terrain.
