Hi John!!
So how bad do you want a M5 Stuart tank??? I found one for sale in California. Runs, clean, used regularly in reenactments. And it is only a mere $245,000.00.( that would be USD!!) I will see if I can get you a pair if you want!! There is also a M5A1 Stuart in Hawaii for only $249,900.00!! Almost twins!!
We just missed a M24 Chaffee. It was also running, working and ready for war!! It sold for $295,000.00 in Florida.
I guess they are out there but the best I will ever do is my nice original M24 tool bag and possibly a couple of models!!
Ony had a great idea!! I find them, you buy them and then put me in your will so I can get them back!!!. I would even pay the container fees to get it back over here!! Now that is a deal!!

I do agree, I think I like the M5 over the M24. Smaller, neater look. Ready for any disagreement that might come along!!
