G'day everyone, i was looking on firestorms website lately and i saw the ww2 aus tank crew, it hought oneday it would be kool to build and australian Stuart tank (tobruk)
now i was wondering if anyone can show me some pics of aussie stuarts, and the insignia or "decals" that i would have to put on it to make it an aussie version, also, was there anything diffferent about the stuart itself when it was in australian service.
Where were they used by the aussies in ww2, i heard we had them at tobruk, am i right?
one last thing, who mkaes the best 1/35 stuart "honey", the only ones i know of are academy and tamiya
thanks in advance, cheers

accademy makes trhe best and go to our own Australian War Memorial Museum site. they have heaps of pics of all types of WW2 stuff used by us. If I remember rightly most of the pics I saw show the stuart in New Guinea.

MrRoo

Do you happen to have the address for the Australian War Museum ? An Australian Stuart sounds like a cool idea.
