Rex,
Is the Stuart 1/16th if so did you do a build thread on it. It looks fantastic as well as your Lee/Grant tank. The paint job really is fantastic.

No, I didn't do a build thread......for some reason I just can't get into the habit of doing that. I just never think anybody will be interested in whatever I'm building at the time (or that it's gonna be worth a darn). The Stuart is a 120mm (1/15) static resin model made by Verlinden. I don't know if it's still available. I wanted to R/C it, but that didn't work out for me. One of the tankers who did build an R/C M3 Stuart posted a build thread on this forum in the past. Does anyone remember who that was (before I do a search)? However, I did scratchbuild an R/C M5A1 with an interchangeable M8 turret using the M3 as a dimensional guide. That worked out pretty good. I used the r/c gear out of the Tamiya Sherman and modified the track for this model.
