These are builds of the Plastic Soldier M3 Stuart, representing ANZAC vehicles in North Africa. The Plastic Soldier kits come three to a box and are intended for the wargame market. The box contains no decals, so the markings here are from Star Decals sheet 72-A 1065. The kits are simplified and quick to assemble, I added a few details such as headlights, grab handles, and tarps. The .30 caliber guns on top of the turrets are from the Academy deuce and a half kits.

Those M-3’s look really excellent! The level of detail for a war-gaming kit is quite impressive, as is your job of building and finishing them. I’ve been very impressed by the level of quality on on your builds

Jeff, I absolutely love these, and especially the small paint/camo variations between the three. I recall building the Hasegawa M3 when I was 12/13 and trying to recreate that Caunter scheme along with the red/white ID markings.
Did the T/C figure come with the kits, or did you source that from somewhere else?

Thanks Warren! PS gives you both an American and British half-figure. They are a little on the big side to my eye.

Perhaps, but the Stuart/Honey is a tiny tank, it’s very cramped inside. I spent most of one afternoon in one running up and down a field at Ft. Knox, and it’s smaller than you think.

I’ve seen them, hard to believe they could fit four guys in there!

A fine trio Jeff- especially considering the source material.
Cheers,
