w/s no.19 fitted to M3 Stuart light tank

[Mrs Vampire]

Des' Photo seems to be one of the Brazilian Stuarts.

Note the replacement honeycomb style radiator and Coffman Starter breech indicating a Guiberson installation.

Again I am unsure how reliable this set up is. The ammo bins and other fittings and the many other photos such as those of the Bovington Brazilian Stuart, the shots taken when they were imported and shots of Stuarts taken out of Brazil prior to Mike Stalwarts export effort, indicate they were originally very much like the drawing .
That said the Brazilians kept the Stuarts for a long time and embarked on a massive modification program that lasted from when they first relieved them till they sold them off.

For my money until some period photos show up I am sticking to the original Australian M3 looking like the drawing and our Hybrids looking a lot like the Dutch Museum Stuart.

Any interior shots of Stuarts would be gratefully received.
