M3A1 Stuart Tank Restoration Photos


Recommended Posts

I can relate to much of this having part restored my Stuart M5A1 over the past 9 years - Now featured in this months CMV magazine under the ownership of Phil Benham and shown at the Mons Tanks in Town event, with the nickname 'Happy Days!'

 

This M3A1 is truly an outstanding restoration and a total credit to its owner/restorer.

 

Undoubtedly a much admired piece of classic American War Metal.

Hello,

I am still running around in my M3A1 Stuart. Here are links to videos of a Robinson R22 helicopter attempting to bomb my M3A1 Stuart tank with a 5lb. bags of flour at an event in October! I was inspired by the 1941 Laural & Hardy movie Great Guns!!! Although it appears the helicopter scored a hit there was no flour on the rear of the tank.

 

 

Here are links to a couple other videos firing blanks.

 

 

 

This was at Heiser Farms in Dayton in October..

 

The following weekend...Well...it only took 60 lbs. of flour but they scored 1 confirmed hit! https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B13sHcEulu1HS1p2WUl0dEJTRmM/edit?usp=drive_web&pli=1

Steve
