My AFV M5A1 Stuart

[Eighth Air Force Pilot]

Here is my M5A1 Stuart from AFV that I finished about three years ago. I was building this while my wife and I were planning our wedding, so I can honestly say that my mind might have been elsewhere...which would explain why I have apparently forgotten to finish the little touches, like the guns. 

 

This is also the first time I have posted anything on here.

 

Comments welcome.

Well, for a first post it's pretty cool!

Aside from the weapons as you mentioned, it looks terrific.

Thanks for the kind words Grant. I really appreciate it! I really need to fix the issue with the guns and paint the glass. I had used the rubber track that came with the kit and it's coming unglued in the picture, so that needs fixing as well. Needless to say I was a little more than busy during this build and didn't devote enough attention to it.

Thanks Dave! I appreciate it!

 

Yeah, I just used the decals AFV provided. I think it had 4 different schemes. AFV's decals are pretty good, I've never had any problems with them settling down They blend in quite well.
