M3A1 Stuart



This common American light tank was armed with a 37mm. The only useful role for such a lightly armed vehicle would have been reconnaissance in the European theatre.

In the Pacific theatre, it was of some use due to its light weight and the obsolete Japanese tanks.

This example here is in Brazilian colours. Brazil joined the Allies during the Second World War with some of its units seeing action.
