About product

Photo-etch for the M3 Lee and Grant medium tank, 1:35

A set of thin metal parts for the American M3 medium tank in its two best-known forms. This is an upgrade for a kit, not a standalone model, and it assumes you already have the plastic base.

The real subject

The M3 was a stopgap but important solution: the main gun of 75 mm caliber sat in the right side of the hull with limited traverse, while the rotating turret carried a smaller weapon of 37 mm caliber. The American rendition was given the nickname Lee, and the British modification with a different turret carried the name Grant. The vehicles made their mark in the fighting in North Africa in 1942 and a considerable part of production also went to units on the Eastern Front.

Usage tips

The tall, box-like hull of the M3 offers plenty of flat areas on which grab handles, lifting eyes and fine stiffeners will stand out. Work from the bottom and from the rear, so that the finished sections do not get in the way of the next steps. Cut away the thick plastic moldings that the photo-etch replaces and level the surface smooth. The metal parts need a primer; without it the shade rubs off them during ordinary handling of the finished model.

Who the set is for

  • modelers of Allied hardware from the early war years
  • builders of desert scenes from North Africa
  • anyone interested in fine details on a large hull
  • more advanced builders with experience of metal

The metal parts go onto a plastic model that you obtain separately, as are the paints and the tools.

FAQ

The Lee is the American rendition; the Grant has a different British turret. According to the name, the set covers both forms of the tank.

Tweezers, a sharp scalpel and a bending tool make the work fundamentally easier. Without them the small parts bend inaccurately.

Only with a primer. On bare degreased metal the applied shade soon cracks and rubs off.

It is not. You are buying metal parts for finishing a build; the tank itself is sold separately.
