Description
The M3 and M5 Stuart were the most significant light tanks of the US Army, as well as many other allied armies, during World War II.
They have proved to be popular modelling subjects ever since, largely due to the large number of kits available in many different scales covering a broad selection of the different variants used. This photographic guide shows a number of different ways to model this popular tank in 1/35 scale, covering construction, painting and weathering the vehicle.
The wide range of colourful camouflage schemes in the Stuarts were painted, reflecting their widespread service, are also showcased.
