Miniart 1/35 M3 Stuart Hybrid (35446)

This article will tell you more about Miniart 1/35 M3 Stuart Hybrid (35446). Kit continues series of American tanks in popular scale. I've already reviewed the previous sets, so it will be interesting to see what is actually included here. Note that today's set is a "simple" version without interior, what might be more interesting for some modelers. Overall packaging is typical for this brand, and all frames come in plastic bag. Let's open them and take a closer look together.

By the way, here you can read review with another interesting version of this tank.

Watch this video-review where I show all parts even closer.

First frames are dedicated to hull panels. Whole boxy structure should be easy to assemble, just be sure to dry-fit those large parts together.

Plastic tracks are always welcome in such kit as they should be easier to work with. As for the suspension, it copies real design and assembly will take some time.

Kit offers some assembly options, so pay attention to what you would like to pick for your build. For example, pioneer tools are provided in two versions.

Today's Stuart is also full of tiny parts, and there are no spares or second chance. Be careful while handling those.

Miniart also provides nicely detailed turret, even though this is not an interior kit. Such a feature should be useful for the cases when you want to open the hatches.

Main gun look great here, and it might be worth spending some time to get a convincing appearance on this one.

Clear frame is packed separately. Molding quality looks great, but there are no masks included.

Unpainted PE fret will be useful for some fine features on your tank. Be sure to use all the parts from here.

Decals sheet is not that big, but it comes from Cartograf, so printing quality looks great. There are four options, and you can see them on the photo below.

Assembly manual is typical for Miniart. I show all pages in the video-review.

New tank should be already available for purchase. In my opinion it is a great choice for modelers who would like to have a copy of the famous Stuart in their collection. Overall quality looks great, and you get all necessary things in one box. The only thing required from you is to carefully assemble the parts and pick the marking for your project.
