38t might be good, but none were assigned to Afrika Corp.  Mark III was the closest to the M3 Stuarts (British Honey). 
However, Pz Mark IV, Panthers & Tiger Mk 1 were also assigned.  Changing one of the huge "Imperial Walker" vehicles (Empire Strikes Back) into a Panther or better a Tiger would make an equally good contrast - maybe better.

How about a 38t? All those rivets. Angles like the Stuart.

VERY good! - NOW you MUST do a Pz Mark III from the same time era. The HoneyBee MUST have an adversary.

Looking good Jon. Love the TC.

JonE

Here are the completed crewmembers. I only painted what will be seen. Maybe need some chevrons or something on the TC.

JonE

I finally have a crew cobbled together and I am ready for Paint. Woody or Larry??? Help.

Going to name her BEATRICE and will letter like BELLMAN on the box. That way she will still be Honey Bea.

JonE

This is the scheme I am doing. And yes, it will be airbrush...

Ryan K

Looking good, can't wait to see it or not :) in camo.

JonE

I will add "desert" to the base. Vehicle is supported by 1 leg to look like it is at cruising speed.

JonE

Here she is all primed and ready for paint. Mk-19s are where the .30s were in the sponsons. The Brits didn't use the .30s but I couldn't resist.

Looking good, keep up the good work.

Ok, here are some shots of progress thus far... scenario... Tobruk 2040, lend-lease vehicle from the USA. Honey of a tank, stinger of a bee... plan on 3 tone color "desert rat" scheme.
