Why this kit matters
The M3 Lee/Grant was an American medium tank used during World War II. It was unique for its multi-turret design, with a 75mm gun in the hull and a 37mm gun in a rotating turret. The British version, known as the Grant, had a different turret design. The M3 played a crucial role in the North African campaign, where it provided valuable firepower against German armour. Australian forces also used the M3, contributing to its legacy in the Pacific theater.
This model kit allows you to recreate a piece of WWII military history. Building this kit provides an engaging and educational experience, perfect for understanding the design and role of tanks in WWII. The completed model serves as a tribute to the soldiers and engineers who contributed to armoured warfare.
