Model has the AA interior set from the conversion kit they have for the Tamiya M5 with a bunch of scratchbuilt details added. The exterior includes the AA pioneer tools, scratchbuilt canvas top, skirts, light guards, bullet splash, fenders, mg mounts, and grouser racks. I used various Eduard and Aber photoetching for the details on the hatches.Welds were added using a 2 part putty. I still have some minor detailing to add plus some stowage on the back deck.
Seeing as this is going to be a Tunisian M3 I plan on painting it as though it had be repainted by the field units after all the additional work had been done to it and use a sand and black camo scheme as seen in the book AFV Vol 4 American vehicles showing a Stuart in British Tunisia.
