Well it is certainly good to be back on MSC. Missed everyone and the great sharing of knowledge and respect. So yes I was building my fat sausage fingers off so Ill start here with this gem.

Tamiya's M3 Stuart Late Production

This was a breather build for me as I just came off a huge build for a client and needed a breather. This little kit certainly is that. Build was completed in 2 bench sessions and took my time with the painting a light weathering. About a week to ten days in total. I kept this one mainly OOB. I added my own stowage (camo net, Jerry cans). I threw in a T-Rex antenna mount for good measure. Everything painted in Vallejo Model Air and Model Color for the smaller details.

Very sharp looking Stuart! I like your restrained approach at weathering. I would suggest painting the tail light lenses, otherwise everything else looks super.

This is very nice! Perfect amount of weathering. Looks great

Sweet! Took you only ten days? Show off! Nah you know how slow I can be and it would have easily taken me more than a month to finish that good. I need to check those antennas from T-Rex too.

Andy, T-rex has some nice stuff. Lamp and periscope guards. Tons for axis armor. Problem is finding in stock.
