I know its Christmas and you're all probably marvelling at your prezzies, but has anyone ever seen/built a Lee kit. I have found a few online for sale but cant seem to find any reviews etc. Any info would be great.
Thanks

The Academy Lee; http://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/kits/aca/kit_aca_13206.shtml#.UNnAQHdP_5k
The Academy Grant; http://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/kits/aca/kit_aca_13212.shtml#.UNnARHdP_5k
Perths review of the Grant; http://www.perthmilitarymodelling.com/reviews/vehicles/academy/acd13212.html
And the Missing Lynx review of the Lee; http://www.missing-lynx.com/gallery/usa/m3leeacademysz_1.html
The Lee comes with an interior, and the Grant should as well since they're almost the same vehicle. There isn't too much in the way of after-market stuff that I'm aware of though, not that it's really needed. Hope this helps.

Sorry Christopher, I should have been more clear. I meant the kit manufacturer 'Lee'. They make a range of modern and WW2 1/35 kits.
Thanks anyway.

The T-55 Lee kit is based on the Esci kit.

I agree, get the Tamiya T-55, which is way better.

Oh? Never heard of them; was wondering what kind of abomination a T-55/Lee hybrid would make! Good luck with your search.
