As the Allies moved from the Normandy beachhead in June and July 1944, they found themselves fighting in French hedgerow country. Brandon added Legend sandbags to up-armor Tamiya’s venerable 1/35 scale M5 Stuart for combat and detailed it with brass screens on the intakes, brass-wire handles, an Academy .30-cal. machine gun, and various aftermarket stowage items. The camouflage is Tamiya acrylics with artist oils and pigments for weathering.
