M3A9 Stuart "Honey Bee"

[JonEmery]

I am an armor builder 99% of the time and have taken a liking to the DUST 48 and 35 subjects and thought I would try my own. After a few sketches, PDF attached, and some gathering of kits, I have started.

 

Tobruk 2040, lend-lease vehicle from the USA. Honey of a tank, stinger of a bee... plan on 3 tone color "desert rat" scheme.

 

Attached are some pics of before it was primed.
