Bolt Action - M3 Stuart Troop - En - 402013001 : Before the war much effort went into building light tanks, which were felt to have a role analogous to cavalry in an earlier age. Once war began these precepts were quickly brought into question, and the need for more heavily armoured and better armed tanks became apparent. The M3 was derived from the pre-war M2A4 light tank: it retained that tank?s 37mm gun and 3 hull-mounted machine guns. The British Army was the first to use the Stuart" in combat. About 170 Stuarts took part in Operation Crusader proving superior or comparable to most of the tanks used by the Axis forces. The high losses suffered by Stuart-equipped units during the operation had more to do with the better tactics and training of the Afrika Korps than the apparent superiority of German armoured fighting vehicles used in the North African campaign. Crews liked its relatively high speed, smooth ride and mechanical reliability, hence the name "Honey" was occasionally used by crews as it drove "Sweet like Honey". During 1942, the British started keeping Stuarts out of tank-to-tank combat, using them primarily for reconnaissance. After initial successes in Tunisia the US army took a beating at Kasserine Pass by the tactically superior German DAK and the infamous 88mm guns , (some M3s were put back in use against the Americans). Soon after the US army would disband the light tank battalions, adding them as recce to their medium tank battalions. Many upgrades were developed such as man packed flame throwers, or with the turret removed, as a "Stuart Recce". Some others were converted to armoured personnel carriers known as the "Stuart Kangaroo", and some were converted command vehicles. The M3 was also the first American crewed tank to engage an enemy tank. Fighting their first tank battle in December 1941, when a platoon of five M3s led by Lieutenant Ben R. Morin engaged the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) 4th Tank Regiment's Type 95 Ha-Go light tanks north of Damortis. The M3A1 made its combat debut on Guadalcanal, where it was part the 1st Marine Tank Battalion in 1941 where it proved an excellent tank in jungles against the ill equipped Japanese, serving with both the US and British forces until gradual replacement by the Sherman from 1944. This platoon comprises x3 plastic M3 Light tanks with options to use: 5 MMG Flamethrower External Fuel tanks Sand guards Rounded or plate turret variants Models supplied unassembled and unpainted"

Ruined my headlights! Big waste of money!
I decided to try this instead of soda bicarbonate and toothpaste to see if if would be oxidation cleared for longer. Big mistake, it made my headlights completely hazed making it even worst. Don’t waste your money on this or anything else. Soda bicarbonate and toothpaste is better and you can seal it with a lacquer or sealer. Big waste of money. Hopeflly I can fix them…😡

Best product for headlight restoration.
This kit comes with everything that you need to restore dull and yellowed headlights to original shine. I have used other products in the past that were not as easy or effective. Customer service was wonderful. Highly recommend.

Great for many ways on my leather goods!
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This stuff got the smell out of a purse I bought that had a chemical smell online. I mean, I try to wash this person all kinds of stuff and couldn't get the stink out of it. I thought I was gonna have to throw it out. I bought this at the last attempt to fix it and it got rid of the smell! I also used it on all my leather shoes, and I cleaned my leather headboard. All shiny and moist now. I know this is for cars, but I don't have any leather seats in my cars. But everything I used it on is clean and smells better.
