B3

B3.  Good running, good looking M5A1 Stuart tank!

The fender got mangled by a Sherman tank.  Really.

A new fender was sourced and welded on.

Red oxide primer!

The recoil oil on the main gun was refilled with oil.  It takes a hi grade, non foaming hydraulic oil.

Look for a drip of oil.  That is where the air is purged from the recoil assembly.

The rear fender repair complete!

RELAX...   It was just sprayed!  The paint will dry a nice dull green but this shot was too fun not to post.
