Not defuncted, just misfired. Nothing wrong with it as a M3 Lee.

I guess defuncted is now a word as well. 
Well I'm online with work but waiting on 5 different teams to finish trying to break what I just got working, (aka testing). I started looking over this thread for the Carolina Lee, found this photo archive a the SC Digital Library.

Really interesting scene here.

you got a duce and a half going over a temp bridge rigged up next to a more permanent bridge. But look to the right of the temp bridge. There's a Lee sunk in the bank, tarped over to protect it some but also notice the roundel.
Just how many Lees sunk in SC during these maneuvers?

Really interesting scene here.
First Army Maneuvers, October-November 1941
Several trucks driving down a dirt off-ramp from one high bridge to a lower bridge. A tank is on the side of the bridge partially in the water.

An infamous "Hold my beer." moment.
The roundel could be a reverse colour style, red background circle, white star and blue centre circle, used by some units. The star tip was supposed to point up on vertical surfaces and forward on horizontal surfaces. Sloped surfaces seem to confuse the army at times.

The crews are evolving.
The shinny gun sling will be delt with. The fella with the monster arms has been fixed. I had some spare that worked out ok.

I think my Mission Models flat clear is mislabeled.
Those britches are far too shiny.

It could be how you applied it. Mission Models recommends light dust coats by airbrush, let dry and repeat as necessary. Trying to use a heavy coat results in the glossy coat you have. They don't mention brush application but it would have to be very light coat(s).
Mission Models Tips & Tricks, about halfway down there is a section on Clear Coats.

I did brush it Rich. I moved over to Alclad Aqua flat, and sprayed it.
The one guy with his right arm up like he's holding a sling needs something to hold. Since he's for the Carolina Lee I don't think he'd be holding a rifle with his tank in the creek, trying to think of what he would be holding. I that bag that's at his feet but it almost looks like a bag for a field phone. Not sure what direction with him yet.
My Holiday break is coming up so I'm going to get some traction on Lulu Belle.

He's obviously a time traveler trying to conceal his cell phone as he records the incident and all the little details @moon puppy missed when he posts the video on Modelers Alliance M3 Lee saga.

We did a little road trip today and one thing I noticed going over all these little country bridges. They most always had a little causeway approach to the bridge itself.
What I've done so far on my base looks strange, as much as I want to have that brick wall foundation it's just not something you see around here.
So I'm going to carve out the sides of the road leading up to the bridge and work from there.
And I'm thinking ahead about laying out the story line.
Let this work on ya a bit.
