Paint and markings for an M3A1 Stuart‏
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Post subject: Paint and markings for an M3A1 Stuart‏

Hello,

a French well-known association is currently restoring an M3A1 Stuart, which is a former Brazilian tank :

www.asphm.com/projets/...tuart.html

The owner would like to paint the Stuart in sand with green camouflage and to put correct and accurate markings, and he would like that the tank looks like it was used by British troops in North Africa. Do you have any period photo or drawing that we can use to correctly paint the tank please? I'm not even sure that the Brits used M3A1s with a welded (not riveted) hull in North Africa.

thanks for any help

Pierre-Olivier

I have looked through: 1. British Tanks in North Africa 1940-42, B. Perrett 2. British Tank Markings and Names, B.T. White 3. Armour Camouflage & Markings: North Africa 1940-1943, G. Bradford They each show British rivetted M3s - no British welded M3A1s. _________________ Trevor Dr Trevor Larkum Preserved Tanks: PreservedTanks.com Armour Archive: ArmourArchive.co.uk EVs
