	Nase noviny - The M3/M5 (Honey/Stuart) Light Tank (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		While the M3 Light Tank became known as the Stuart Light Tank (the British 7th Armoured Division also supplied another, more familiar nickname, calling the vehicle 'Honey' due to its superior reliability and agility), while the Medium Tank was named after General Lee.
		Conditions were for the most part similar for Germans and British alike, however, the lay-out of the fighting compartment, the roles of each member of the crew, as well as tactics used during tank battles proved to have decisive influence on the success of each engagement.
		The arrival of M3 Medium Tanks (General Lee) and the performance of the light tank in battle caused the Stuart to gradually shift to other roles, never to regain the status it enjoyed with the British Army again, at least not in the European Theater of Operations.

	Armour in Focus: M3 Series Light Tanks
		In the M3 a sling seat was installed under the cupola for the commander, the turret traverse wheel was moved to the gunner's side giving him sole control of traverse and elevation with the loader on the right hand side.
		British combat reports on the M3 initially criticised the lack of a turret backet and the resulting dificulites experienced by the gunner and commander 'walking' round with the turret when it was traversed.
		However, at this stage of the war the Stuart no longer possessed the attributes to be employed as a cruiser whilst for it's intended role of a reconnaissance vehicle, where enemy engagement was not the objective, a two man turret was adequate.

	Light Tank M3 Stuart
		This early M3 Stuart features a riveted turret and hexagonal commander's cupola.
		This is a later-production M3A1, as evidenced by the lack of holes for the sponson machine guns, as well as a dearth of rivets on the hull.
		The hull sides on this M3A3 are sloped, the rear deck is flat, and the turret features the radio bustle which was later incorporated into the turret of the light tank M5A1.

	Light Tank M3 Stuart
		The M3 Stuart, known to the British as Stuart I or Honey (it was a "Honey" of a tank), was an evolution of the light tank M2A4, which incorporated a trailing idler suspension to decrease ground pressure and improve weight distribution, a lengthened hull superstructure rear, and also thicker armor.
		The external difference between gasoline and diesel-powered Stuarts is the difference in length of the air intake pipes leading from the air cleaners on the rear hull to the engine compartment.
		M3A3, or Stuart V, was modified to have a sloped hull similar to the light tank M5 Stuart.

	Stuart; not well known but part of the team
		The Stuart was named after the legendary Major-General J E B "Jeb" Stuart who fought on the Confederate side in the American Civil War.
		The US M3 Light Tank was named "General Stuart" by the British after they took possession of the first lend lease M3s in June of 1941.
		After their experience with the M3 Light Tank, the Americans designed the M3A1 to remedy some of the short-comings of the earlier model, and the changes began with the first new vehicles in May of '42.

		The primary light tank for American forces, the M3 was used extensively for reconnaisance and as a cruiser tank by the British, who named the tank "Stuart".
		The M3 Stuart was similar to the original American model, but the sponsoon machine guns were removed.
		In 1943, the M3 was replaced by the M5A1 Stuart, which was similar in most respects except for increased armor.

	M2 / M3 / M5 Stuart Light Tank
		The M3 Light tank was standardized in July 1940, and was based on the chassis of the M2 series tanks developed in the late 1930's.
		The M3 was the first tank to be used in combat by the US Army's 1st Armored Division, and was used extensively in the North African campaign against the light skinned Italian armor.
		The trip alone was sufficient to prove the soundness of the idea, and the M3, fitted with the Cadillac engines and transmission, extra thickness of armour and some other changes, was standardized in November 1941 as the Light Tank M5.

		The M3 was assembled by welding and rivets, and it's armor was rolled face-hardened steel.
		The Rats modeled the M3A3 Stuart because they felt it would be "most representative" of the Stuart series and a good addition to the French tanking game.
		The M3A3 is a much more survivable tank than the M3, and this point is punctuated by the fact that the M3A3 was entering production years after the other Tier 1 tanks had been declared obsolete.

	Trucks lend-leased to Russia - M3 Light Tank (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		While 1,336 vehicles left Western ports in late 1941 and 1942, some 400 M3 fell prey to German forces on their way, so roughly 900 arrived in the northern Russian ports, 50 alone through convoy »PQ-14« in spring 1942.
		Being notoriously short in armour by this time, the Russians instantly deployed the archaic looking tanks to their tank units where single vehicles could be seen in combat as late as 1944.
		Though probably not a tanker's dream, the M3 Light was fast, reliable and well armoured for its time.

		The Stuart series was the end of a line of American light tanks based on a British Vickers design developed in the inter-war years.
		The M3 series was just coming into production at the time the USA became involved in WW2, and saw its action first in North Africa with British crews where it also got the name Stuart which stuck with it though it was never known as such in its native service.

	M3 Stuart "Honey" Review by Cookie Sewell (Academy 1/35) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Such is the case for Tamiya's quarter-century-old M3, M5A1, and M8 kits, as with the release of this first of a string of new kits covering US light tanks that is the case for those shopworn old friends.
		(Tamiya's M3 turret was between 10 and 15% underscale, based on source.) While this kit only comes with the welded octagonal turret, a second kit is coming behind this one for the M3A1 with the "flat top" horseshoe turret and some other changes.
		It will be tough to fit the model with an aluminum barrel, however, as the gun is presented in full and mounts to the turret race and not to a set of model-type swivels inside the turret.

		The British Army used the M3 in North Africa under the name 'Stuart' Mk I. They made some important adjustments, such as the additional fuel tanks that could be jettisoned, larger fenders and smokepots on the turret.
		The name 'Stuart', used by the Brits, was not the only one, crews named her affectionately 'Honey'.
		A standard M3 was converted to accept the 'Twin'Cadillac and a commercial used transmission was built into the vehicle.

		Designed to replace the M2, The M3 light tank was developed not only for the US Army, but also to be deployed under the lend-lease program to allied forces that were already engaged with axis forces around the world.
		Dubbed 'General Stuart' by the British, the M3 began reinforcing the beleaguered Royal Army forces after their major loss of material the year before during their evacuation at Dunkirk as well as their stretched supply lines supporting operations in North Africa and in the South Pacific.
		The Stuart was effective in combat in its initial operations, but it didn't take the Germans long to deploy newer tanks with better armor and greater firepower.

		The M3 incorporated a thicker armor, lengthened hull, and trailer idler wheel to act as another road wheel to decrease ground pressure and improve weight distribution.
		It was also equipped with a 37mm M6 gun, which was adequate early in the warm byt by 1942, the German counterparts far surpassed the range of the M3.

	Academy 1/35 M3 Stuart 'Honey'
		The M3 series was designed to replace the aging M2 series of US light tanks.
		The key improvements were the new trailing idler wheel which increased track ground contact, which helped distribute the weight of the vehicle, the internal mounting of the 37mm gun recuperator assembly, and the relocation of the mufflers under an armored overhang on the rear of the tank.
		The Tamiya M3 kit has been around for 20 plus years and while it does build into a nice tank; it takes a lot of extras to make it so.

		The advantage of a Stuart is that they "only" weigh around 12 tons and are less than 8' wide: this means they can be transported on a normal semi-trailer, which is far cheaper than a low loader.
		Once we had the Stuart transported to Broken Hill the first order of business was to do an engine pull and replace the seized clutch actuator fork bearings and have a much needed tidy up and clean out.
		Due to the smoke generated by a radial on start up I quickly learnt to park the Stuart facing outwards so that it could be quickly moved out of the shed and then warmed up where the driver could breath.

	M3 Stuart light tank
		Used by the US and UK, the M3 Stuart was typical of the better light tanks at the start of WWII - well built, well armored and poorly armed.
		The Stuart was used well into the war, replaced starting in early 1943 by the similar M5 Stuart (larger engine, 33% more main gun ammo, thicker frontal armor) and eventually the M24 Chafee (with a 75mm L38 gun, same as used on early M4 Shermans).
		A variant of the M5 was the M8 HMC, which mounted a 75mm L17 howitzer in an open-topped turret and carried 46 HE rounds, and was used to provide infantry fire support until replaced by the Sherman 105 (armed with a 105mm L28 howitzer).

		The model of the stuart is bad and the skin is also so i think they are ging to make an another stuart...
		I'd rather see the Stuart redone with the riveted or welded turet, not the horseshoe like what it is now, the riveted and welded turreted versions were used extensively with the british in North Africa.
		I know there are pics of the M3 Stuarts in Brit markings that still have the cupola on top but the Brits very often removed this for the very reason mentioned, to reduce height.

		Academy has come to the rescue of Stuart fans after years of trying to deal with the old Tamiya kit with this new release of the M3.
		The tracks are assembled in the same manner as the AFV Club M3 tracks released some time back, but the pads on the Academy tracks are noticeably larger than with the AFV Club tracks.
		The choice of which tracks you use is up to you but the individual ones do give offer better definition but obviously take a lot longer to assemble.

		The M3 and M5 family of light tanks were the culmination of American tank development of the 1930s.
		By the time of the outbreak of the World War II, they were approaching obsolescence, as tank forces in Europe were shifting from light to medium tanks as the main element of their armored forces.
		The M3 and M5 light tanks proved more suitable in the Pacific theater than in Europe, and fought successfully in many of the major battles including Guadalcanal, Tarawa and Peleliu.

	M3/M5 Stuart Lt Tank - by Steven J Zaloga
		The M3 and M5 Stuart were the most significant light tanks of the US Army, as well as many other allied armies, during World War II.
		They have proved to be popular modelling subjects ever since, largely due to the large number of kits available in many different scales covering a broad selection of the different variants used.
		The Stuarts were also painted in a wide range of colourful camouflage schemes, reflecting their widespread service, and this adds to their appeal.

		This is then followed by the AFV Club M3A3, a kit-bash of the Tamiya M3 and Academy M3A1, and finally the cover kit, the Tamiya M4A1.
		There are smaller articles on a British 'Honey', an M3 in the Philippines, an M3A1 in Tunisia, a Yugoslav M3 with a Pak 40, and finally an M8 Howitzer Motor Carriage.
