Ok guys, if anyone has some references of Stuarts or just some pictures from the war I would really appreciate some help. I am currently building the academy M3A1 Stuart and have run into some questions.
I am looking for a Stuart that had:
-the horseshoe welded turret
-without the cupola
-with, or without the riveted plate armor on the side of the main body of the vehicle
-without the drop tanks fitted
-and not one of the diesels.
Does anyone know if such a vehicle existed, and if so, what units, and theaters of war it fought in?? I am looking for markings for my Stuart. I have not decided whether the rivets on the side of the hull will stay, but other than that, this is the tank I hope to model.
Also, did the M3A1s without the rivets in the side hull armor still have the rivets on the rear and top of the vehicle?
LOL, I told myself that this one would be out of the box. Well, so much for that idea…
Any help you guys might be able to give me would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
