3/24/2023 I've just finished this 1/16 scale model of the M5A1 "Stuart" light tank (late production). This model is produced by Classy Hobby. It was a fun build; my only complaint was the protective cage that covers the periscopes. I've seen these molded in one piece (very nicely) in 1/35 scale, but here it's an impossible task of assembling several parts of brittle plastic. I just left them off. These are done very nicely on my 1/16 sherman tank by Andy's Hobbies. One other complaint is the very small (brittle) hand holds that need to be glued on. About 85% of the ones I cut from the sprues broke in half. I ended up making these out of thin brass wire that was passable. The end result is to my liking however and makes for a very nice Stuart tank.
Here is a video of the completed model -> HERE.
