Hi dear friends,

I thought a Stuart for Light tank campaign. Hasegawa 1/72 scale M3 Stuart Mk.1
Today, I decided to and took pictures of the kit.





enjoy

I have seen this kit around but never thought about getting it. Seems like it's not too complicated so I'll be watching how this comes together. Nice to see a small scale blog here again.

Regards,
AJ

Greetings Erhan! I remember building one of these years ago. I still have it someplace but I'm also sure that I never finished it. It'll be interesting to see what you do with it.

Cheers,
Jan

Good morning,
Last night I completed the construction of the model. No problem. I will also add the figure.
cheers ...

Nice kit. It seem to have a good quality although I would change the tow and burden in the rear part.

Regards.

Pedro.

Erhan, I am glad that you posted this build as it is now plain to me that mine has a few more parts to put on. I truly believe that posts like this are very helpful to a wide range of people. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Jan

Jan, you are right. Sharing is good. I hope that has been useful.

Pedro, you're right, I also don't like the rear section. I wondered, can I build only a day ?.. it's ok..

Hi, some update for my little Stuart... painting stage....
:-X

Erhan,

That little tank is coming along nicely. Every time I check out this thread it makes me want to dig up my incomplete one and finish it.

Cheers,
Jan

Looking good Erhan!

@erhntly – Erhan,

That is a cool looking little tank; I also have one of these in the stash. From seeing yours it makes me want to pull mine out and build it too. With the parts count being low it lends itself to an easy one-day build. Until the recent release of the Mirage kit it was the only game in town in this scale, me thinks?

Thank you dear friends,
I think, this kit for beginners. (or for me ) these days my work is very busy and I will finish OOB. I'm sorry...

@ Eddy - I recommend Mirage's Stuart..

Looking good Erhan. I built this kit many years ago. Are you going to paint up the horse and rider?
Cheers,
Tim

Hello Tim, I'm going to paint horse later (rider : maybe, because he is a comic guy, bad molding)

Great job on the M3. Btw, would you know if the Matchbox kit has better detail than this kit from Hasegawa?

Hi Toby,

I have not seen Matchbox kit. (but I would like to review. Because it is a classic.
However, there is an article on the following link.

Good evening "armorama" a little update,

painting is completed, after the gloss varnish, decal, glossy varnish ...I began to tank commander. Then I share figure.

Hi dear friends,

Hasegawa kits have funny soldiers. This is given as a tank commander for Stuart. I've tried. Can do so much.
Painted with Vallejo.

Hello,

Stuart completed OOB...other photos are in miniafv :

regards..

Erhan,

Beautiful build and step-by-step WIP log. I was watching this from the start. And to be honest, i got inspired to build my own Hasegawa M3 (you can find it in another thread here too hehe). I needed something to get me building again and this thread certainly did just that.
