Hello Everybody,
I posted this in the Canadian forum as well. I was wondering what would be the best most accurate kit out there for a WWII Canadian Stuart.
Cheers

Hi Ray ..from what I just read in "From D-Day to VE-Day The Canadian Soldier" It says that most of our light tanks were M3A3s but we also recieved some M5A1s also.

Hey Ray,
The AFV club M3A3 is a really good kit, and the academy offerings are not too bad unless you are a real bolt counter. I have both and have Ultra cast decals, and you could definately use some of the QM Depots Sherman decals as long as you depict the right regiment.
PS Happy New Year Richard! I hope that you are having fun at the bench and that New Years Eve Parties were very profitable for you.

AFV Club's M3A3 and Formations Models M5A1 Stuart conversion for this kit. Both will get you a pretty nice miniature and give you option to model either.
