Captured M3 Stuart

Well, for those who haven't started their Tamiya kit yet, you are really missing out on the fun. This was even a great kit out of the box. But as we discussed at the last meeting, we wanted some variety for the group build, so here is mine.

The British used the US made Stuart in North Africa.
I added various German stowage to indicate that it had been a captured tank, presumably run out of fuel without any damage. 

 The new German tank commander from his disabled SdKfz 250, swapped out the American 30 cal for his own MG34.
So as not to get strafed by his own Stukas, he throws a Nazi flag over his stowage for recognition.
