My latest conversion is a stuart tank M5 minus its turrent and armed with a Quad 50 cal from a M16 halftrack. This was an actual conversion that went up against the halftrack armed quad 50 cal.The Army decided for the halftrack ,and this stuart stayed as a light tank. After I add some additional surface details like boxes,bed rolls,etc,I'll airbrush a camouflage pattern.

I know of the M3 Stuart used for the prototype I don't know if any M5's were used for that configuration
