UVS Interwar adventures 15/09/2019: US M1A2 Light Tank

[Ultravanillasmurf]

This is my first venture into decidedly "Interwar" modelling, my previous efforts have sneaked into the Second World War via Operation Sealion.

So the US T1E2 Light Tank. This was one of a series of one-off prototypes, this one being built in 1928. Originally armed with a short 37mm anti-tank gun, it was re-armed with a 37mm Browning semi-automatic gun.



This was built from the Empress Miniatures kit.

I did break the supplied gun barrel, so replaced it with one made from brass rod.


The decals are from the Italeri 28mm M3 Stuart kit, I do have some suspicions about the US flag.


It does need some weathering.

Ooh, some one at Italeri  failed their research roll....


I count fifty stars.

All the decals are from the Italeri version of the 28mm M3 Stuart kit.
