Honey/Stuart Tank Question

[iambrb]

gang,

I have a question. I was Ebay'ing (despite Moon Pup's insistence that I shouldn't go there), and noticed that there is a resin-shrouded barrel for the Stuart/Honey tank. If you search Honey ^ 1/35, you will see that there is someone offering a Shrouded resin barrel for this tank. Was that often used when fighting in the desert or what?

Seems kinda odd, but I will check it out.

Well it must have been an option, but could not find any historical pictures using it. I did find one on a restored tank. :idonno

Thanks! Terry, you DA'MAN!!!!!!

I thought it was odd - I guess it would look good on a tank going into or coming out of storage, but the rest, maybe not appropriate. Am thinking that after I baby-step my way thru my current project, I may do a Honey. Always like that tank since I read BRAZEN CHARIOTS as a child!

Could have been used during shipment.

Shipment as terry says and transportation to a combat zone

Looks like a waterproof shroud used during landings from an LST onto the beach.
