I like the look of the Stuart Honey caunter scheme. Most of the time I've seen in in a light blue with desert tan. I think I've seen a picture where the scheme was just the factory olive drab with the overlapped desert tan. Can anyone confirm this or am I imagining thing?


Thanks

I am pretty sure that the Stuart was finished in standard Olive drab and then painted the light blue and tan when it arrived in the desert.
Hope this helps.

The blue that was added on the real things was not nearly as bright as the box art depict's.

I found this pic a couple days after I posted here

I know Mr. Zaloga is pretty accurate, but do you believe that this OD/desert tan was isolated to this vehicle or just rare?

Thanks

Jeff
