This is a build of the Tamiya M3A1 Stuart Late Production built as a Lend Lease vehicle.
The model is painted with Tamiya acrylics. The hairspray technique was used to create the worn white wash effect. The model was weathered with oil paint and enamel weathering products.
The model is built mostly OOB with the addition of the dedicated Def Models PE and barrel set. I had some spare 30cal resin barrels from Eureka and used those to replace the kit's plastic barrels. Some stowage was added from ValueGear. The replacement resin head is from Alpine.
Information on the Soviet evaluation of the M3 Stuart can be found on Tank Archives.
