This was one of the projects I was hoping to advance today.  However my compressor died not long after getting the base coat in place,  at least they're will be plenty of drying time while I source a new compressor on my next lot of days off.

Ah, that answers my question from your STUART thread.

Cuban in what context? 

Angola 1975-1976?


Or later, vs the South Africans?

I think the plain Jane T55s are still in use by the Border Guard Regiments (particularly around Gitmo and on the beaches in the NE corner of the country).

nb: For anyone else interested in Cuban themes, if you have an SU-100 you can duplicate Fidel's ride at the Bay of Pigs.

The decal set I have is for that Angola one you posted.
