Post subject: Yugoslav Stuart / PaK40 combination

According to WWII Yugoslavian Tanks a Stuart / PaK 40 adaptation was used by the Yugoslav 1st Tank Brigade.

I'm on the lookout for any information relating to the interior storage of ammunition.

Any idea as to what effect the Pak40 recoil would have had on the Stuart ?

Interior photos would be most welcome - thinking of attempting this conversion for my 1st scratch-build project Smile

Thanks in advance

Hi Dirk take a look here www.smhq.org/galeries/...m3pak.html www.panzerbaer.de/work...d_35-c.htm forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=73530 it would appear the ammo was probably in the box at the rear of the chassis HTH Jeff Lewis

Hi Dirk

take a look here
www.smhq.org/galeries/...m3pak.html
www.panzerbaer.de/work...d_35-c.htm
forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=73530

it would appear the ammo was probably in the box at the rear of the chassis HTH

Not a good model - Note from the image below that there is no rear box. Also if you examine the superstructure side there appears to be hinge & door (probably repeated on the other side) to close off the rear?

Unless, of course, there was more than one made?

Cool
