The RC M5A1 Stuart is a nice little tank to play with and a rare sight.
Being from a mainstream plastic kit company means the model is well detailed.
The model as it stands today.
And finally, here is a short YOUTUBE video of the turret electronics in action.

What’s to say
The words I would use in real life to describe how good this is would mean I’d have to ban myself here
I swear you are 5 models ahead of the one your on at the time mate, it blows my mind how you keep producing such quality, well thought out pieces.

Just fantastic Louis I was hoping that you would tackle this build as I can now blatantly use all your ideas on my own

Cheers and many thanks, Lee.

Great work - I am tempted by the early version!

Well done . The turret is ace , elevation servo under the turret ring is a nice solution . Whats next?

Great stuff Louis!

I too will be shamelessly stealing a number of your ideas!

I have a question. As the tracks appear to be roughly half the size of Sherman tracks what about something in a smaller scale like tamiya metal 1/35 Sherman tracks perhaps?

Or 1/24

That could possibly be an idea EB, I think that they would need to be more towards the 1/24 scale though as 1/35 are very narrow and you would need a couple of sets to make the required length. I do not have any 1/24 tanks but it would be interesting to know the width of their tracks

Cheers, Lee.

You may get the width you need but you'll also need the precisely correct pitch for the drive sprocket. Could be tricky!
