For point of reference the M5 light tank was an upgrade to the previous M3. Both called the Stuart, the M5 used the same basic design including a pair of Cadillac V8s in the rear. The gun was a 37mm and obviously the M5 like the M3 was not intended to engage anything but likewise armor. Against similar units the M5 had a good combat record. ( typically engaging German Puma units or light panzers, anything bigger then a panzer 2 or 3 posed a problem for the M5). The tank again was an uparmored M3. About 1942/43 they began to phase in the M24 Chaffee which was the M3/M5 replacement. ( Keeping in mind the M3/M5 was essentially a pre WW2 design from the 1930s). The M5s high silhouette made scouting a problem later in the war ( higher silhouette tanks were a problem until after WW2). In the Pacific however the M5 compared very favorably against IJA designs as the Japanese tanks were under gunned and under armored. This model depicts an M5 from the ETO based on the Hedge chopper which the allies needed to break through Normandy’s dense hedgerows. ( most hedge choppers were repurposed German beach fortifications altered into the shape). The American light tank line ran until the M-41 Walker Bulldog. After that the army decided light tanks served no real purpose until the recent introduction of the M-10 Booker. The primary post war role of light tanks was airborne firepower or quick deployment units.

The gun got shorter during filming buddy

I have the M5A1 Stuart a while now and I'm in good contact with the company and owner. They're constantly developing new tanks and upgrades. Their current tank in late stage development is the British Crusader and future plans are the M8 HMC, Pz.Kpfw. 38(t), Su-76 etc. Edit: As for the tracks, for some reason they keep it loose so you might wanna get rid of 1 track link for better performance

Might just pick this speedy little bastard up. Not fond of the lack of airsoft but with such a small gun what are ya gonna do?

Nice, if not for anything else, this should make a great target for my KT C02 gun
