M3 Stuart Mk. I

American light tank in British service, North Africa 1941

Desert training can begin, the English also have to get acquainted with the technique first!
In 1941, all the help came in handy in North Africa, so the practice could begin with the first version of the small light American M3 tank.
This was my first Mirage Hobby model. The material is relatively soft, so the details are a bit rough in places. But I didn't regret it, the next M5 Stuart and two M3 Lee tanks are already on my shelf.
Based on original photos, I left out the front light and the external machine gun, but I did add some tarpaulins and water cans. These always come in handy in the desert, don't they?
