Stuart on Patrol

An M3 Stuart with USMC infantry support heads out on patrol against the Japanese in the Pacific. The Stuart is an ealry version with five .30 cal Browning machineguns and a 37 mm ATG, in reality the two side machinguns were usually removed as being inpractable in combat, as firing six weapons with only four crew was realisticly impossible. The USMC personnel are armed in a better manner with an M-1 Garand rifle, Browning Automatic Rifle (the famous BAR) and a .45 cal Thopmpson submachingun (the equally famous "Tommygun"). All are plastic pieces from Warlord that I painted in 2019.
