USMC Stuarts

[menardi]

Hi!

Did the USMC forces use the M3 Hybrids during WWII? When and where?

I want to model an Academy M3 Hybrid in USMC service during the fighting on New
Georgia, a vehicle from 9th, 10th or 11th Defense Platoons.

Could you help me?

Regards, Fabrício Menardi

Yes: They were used on Guadacanal and possibly Bouganville. If you can find a copy of Steve Zaloga's book on Armor Battles in the Pacific (Concord) there are a bunch of photographs of Hybrids used.
