So I Was Looking At Photos And Trying To Find Stuff On The Markings.And Was Wondering If All The M3 Had A Number Like 1,2,3 On The Side Of The Turret/Cupula Aera.Since No One Makes Decals For Guadalcanal.Can I Go With No Markings? Or What Should I Do?
Kagero did a book on Pacific War Armor that came with a decal sheet which included Guadalcanal and Buna M3 Stuart’s. I don’t know if it’s still available for sale with the decal sheet, but it’s out there. There were also other PTO armor markings as well in the book and on the sheet.
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!
U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!
N is for NO SURVIVORS...

There is also Steve Zaloga's book from Osprey:

As there is not much documentation, you can pretty much make up your own handpainted markings on the USA OD.
