At the York show this past week I found this. It is a M5 Steward light tank. I had never saw a Steward Tank in O scale. I usually only run 1/48 or 1/50 military vehicles on my military train, the Steward is a 1/43 model. However the Steward being a small tank I think it will still look good. I paired it up with a Solido Sherman which are usually a little larger.

My Military train will be running at the Black Diamond Society of Model Engineers in Bethlehem Pa this holiday season.

JohnB,

Yes, the Stewart is a gaping hole in the Tamiya 1/48 scale MM series.  Hopefully it will one day be rectified.  In the meantime, there are a few 3D printed versions of a Stewart available on that auction site, and occasionally an older production resin kit (like Gasoline) will come up for sale (both more expensive than a Tamiya kit would be).  Until then, it's 1/43...

Here is my contribution for this week:

Happy Military Monday the day to show off some Military Power, PW Lionel #3429 USMC Helicopter Launching car, year made 1960. God Speed to all our Vets!

Fire when READY!

I’ll see your rockets and raise you a torpedo.

The torpedoes were transported from NWS Earle to the fleet via rail.

Another gaping hole in Tamiya’s generally excellent MM 1/48 series:

I had posted this video in my post concerning the Holiday Open House Season schedule of the Black Diamond Society of Model Engineers in Bethlehem PA but I originally wanted to post it on the Military Monday post but then completely forgot about it. Well here it is finally:

For the open house schedule please visit the Announcements Forum and I hope to see you there.
