I know they suck, but it may be the most cost-effective means for me to get
started in tank combat, as I've just sunk a few thousand into buying a kit
for IJN Musashi (with all the guts included) for 1/144th scale R/C warship
combat and I' don't have much left for other projects! So the stuart is an
option I'm considering.
