Are we assuming the US 37mm has been swapped out for a German one, as the US gun was pretty much a straight copy of the German weapon? ???

Nice little tank the M3 Stuart, like yours a lot! 8)

I really must build mine ... Soon ... Ish ... ::)

I've always had a sweet-spot for the Stuart and it's a treat to see one done in your inimitable style, Cam!

Bonus points for the interesting Hungarian markings!

Not Sure.  I was looking at captured tanks online and found pics of some M3s in Hungarian markings.  the story of an American tank given to the Russians ending up in Hungarian hands appealed to me for something different.  I also used to have a Hungarian wargaming army back when I still played.  here are a couple of the pics I found

You've got a real talent for tanks!
