Hey guys, I'm trying to research the British M3 Honey as used in Africa. Can anyone point me to some web resourses for photos of M3s in the field? Also, how about some references of the camo used by British Desert Rats? I've been searching but have come up with nothing useable.
Thanks!

Now that this excellent resource is working again, try searching for 'Stuart' on this page, also picking Second World War under 'period'

Most of the desert stuff is on the second page of results.

Also try the Osprey book on modelling the M3 family, which has a bit on the Honey. The originally started off in the Caunter scheme, like this

and were later plain Light Stone, read the section on British AFV camouflage found here:

And there is also this general site on the Desert Rats for some background
