I bought these a while back, but being me I didn't pay too much attention to what they were listed as. Blush



Any help identifying the make/brand or military hardware so I can get them painted and based appropriately is appreciated! (I think they're GHQ)

They look like T8E1 Recon Stuart with the MG missing. GHQ has pix of all their stuff on their website, see what you think.

They look like Stuarts (US M5) without the turret, these were used by British forces as recce vehicles.

Thirded on the recce Stuart, or the US T8 variant! Although they could be the Stuart RAM (turretless APC version) or the arty tractor version - I really couldn't say what the differences in 6mm would be tbh Smile

Not blue anymore. Better than they were. Need basing etc obviously. Time to crack on with my M29C Weasels and US25 3" ATs (There are no 1:285 models left in Tokyo, I checked and bought them).

No it's not the exact green I need, they're a bit comic book. YMMV etc.
