Does anyone have any photos of captured M3 Stuarts in IJA service? I've only been able to find one through my internet searches.

On a side note, does anyone know if the AFV Club M3/M5/M8 Stuart Vertical Volute Suspension set has better early running gear than the Academy kits?

Thanks in advance guys!

*edit, title should read IJA, not IJN.

The AFV Club suspension is much better.

There is a thread of Japanese use of captured equipment here.

Jesse: Great, thanks!

Gary: Thanks! A lot of great stuff in there, and I think I found the picture that I needed which happened to be the only picture of an M3 Stuart. I dig the picture with the M3 scout car and Universal Carrier, interesting ideas come to mind with that photo...
