Tail-Dragon Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I'm working on Academy's M3A1 Stuart 'Honey". I've just finished the base painting using Mike Starmer's Tamiya mix, so I thought I'd share. Lots to do yet but I found it interesting how the silver grey disappears in black and white photos, makes it very hard to get the scheme exactly right! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tail-Dragon Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 Here' a question, would all Stuarts in the Caunter scheme have the British Army white/red/white flashes on the turret and fenders, and would the flashes also be on the front lower hull? Some frames from an online video seem to show no flashes, but I don't know if that was in training, or in service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddoxx77 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 That looks superb! A cracking paintjob. I can't answer your question about the flashes. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonL Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) That looks great, much better job of the weathering the running gear than my overdone job! I believe the red and white markings were specifically for Operation Crusader in late 1941 to early 1942, so I would suspect having it without would be ok for a pre-Crusader vehicle?
