Tamiya 1:48 M5A1 Stuart

April 2, 2025 · in Armor · · 7 · 157

Great kit of an iconic AFV. After it's announcement I couldn't wait to get my hands on this kit. I am a big fan of Tamiya's armor models and this is one of the better ones in the series. I built it OOB. It went together flawlessly. I then painted it with a Mission Models faded OD green and various AK weathering colors and pencils and Abteilung 502 oil paints.

PS I loved doing this kit so much, that I picked up Tamiya's 1:35 scale M3 .

Also, its my third kit completion so far this year.
