This is the last of the "Stuarts" that I have for Toadman and everyone else to enjoy. This vehicle had the rear firing port open on the turret so I used my 3 ft ladder to stand on and stuck my hand through and snapped some pictures. Engine data plate wasn't very readable, and again I had to stick my hand in an area where I was afraid to drop my camera. Are those stampings of any signifigance?

Something I didn't notice but was pointed out on the Yahoo Stuart group was that this tank has an engine from a deuce! Shocked

It should have a radial engine. Duh! I guess I looked at the pics too fast to even catch it. Laughing

Mexican Army ones had a continentaL multifuel engine fitted!

Cool

When I saw that engine, I thought it looked wrong, because the two M3's over at the 4th ID museum did have the radial engines, and the M5 had two V-8's. Since I don't know much about these tanks, (but I'm learning) I didn't know what I could possibly have and not have. According toJim Web, then maybe this is a Mexican varient. Once I get with the museum staff, I'll try and find out.
