SimonL Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 I’ve been keen to build a Stuart in British colours since reading “Brazen Chariots” by Robert Crisp. My local hobby store has a restock and I managed to grab the Academy kit at a good price. Here is my attempt, pretty much out of the box other than a go a making more of rack for the cans at the back. I also had a go at brush painting a Caunter Scheme using some Tamiya mixes I made awhile ago and Vallejo acrylics. Weathered (a little too much) with Vallejo Model Washes. Build thread can be found here: According to the box the markings are for the 8th King’s Royal Irish Hussars, 7 Armoured Division, Sidi Rezegh, Libya, November 1941. Thanks for looking. 23 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullbasket Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Nice work Simon. It looks as though it has just gone right through the N.African campaign. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
