M22 Locust hull (and turret reproduction) – MM Park, La Wantzenau (France) Ian Hughes has cast a turret reproduction for this tank (shown above), he had the engine and transmission but only 1 track. As it is possible to convert the Locust to run on Stuart tracks Ian bought a whole set including sprockets. He brought it from a private collector in Michigan (USA) about 2 years ago, the previous owner got it in 2003 from a museum "somewhere in eastern USA"
