I really enjoyed this build. No fit issues and everything went together well. I've read reviews stating the tracks were wrong but I don't care. Box cover Caunter color scheme is all wrong when I researched for the correct colors. I used AK Interactive Portland Stone, Light Stone, Silver Grey Green, and Slate.

Marking:
"BELLMAN" of 8th King's Royal Irish Hussars, 7th Armored Division, Bir-Hakeim, Libya, May 1942

Wow Tom that turned out great. Awesome finish and love the weathering. Makes me want to build one. Maybe I need to rethink this whole armor thing

If you find the Academy M3 Stuart kit, you won’t be disappointed. Weathering I used Tamiya Black Paneliner.

Very nicely done Tom! You really did some fine work here!

That's a great result, Tom! You nailed it!

Really nicely done Tom! You did a cracking job on that one.

Glad to hear it's a nice kit - I've been thinking of getting the Airfix reboxing.

I looked into the Airfix Stuart kit. The instruction guide is exactly the same as the Academy kit. It appears to be a repop from the Academy kit as well. Having seen it, I’ll definitely will get it due to a different variation scheme of the North Africa Theater.
Hell…. I’ll get two of them.

I thought it was - I think the majority of the Airfix 1/35 kits are ex-Academy, asides from the recent Ambulance and Ferret. Although I think (certainly for the ambulance) they had help from Academy in designing and moulding it.

I'd like to get one to do with a few of the other North African kits I have in the stash.

Wouh so excellent work Tom !

Yeah, armour is clearly your new genre !
