m3a1 stuart Model 3D

The Light Tank M3A1, part of the Stuart family of tanks, began production in April 1942. For awhile, the M3A1was built concurrently with the M3.This was reflected by the last few M3s having a welded hull while the first M3A1s retained the riveted hull before welding became standard. The major differences between the two vehicles were that the M3A1 dispensed with a cupola and was fitted with two turret hatches the installation of an oil motor power traverse and the provision of a turret basket which the M3 had lacked. The M3A1 was manufactured until February 1943. A total of 4,621 M3A1s were built. 211 were diesel powered while the rest were gasoline powered. A Scene file and all textures are included. The model will look like the one rendered.
