I see that AFV Club is now offering the M5 3" US anti tank gun. Finally someone is making this peice. Have any of you built this kit? How is the quality and accuracy of the kit?

It should be nice. It is the same kit as their M2A1 105mm Howitzer with a new barrel. The M2A1 kit is really nice.

And how does that one compare to the Dragon M2A1?

AFV Club's is much more detailed and nicer than the Dragon one. PMMS has a review of it that includes a comparison to the Dragon kit.

I have both the Dragon and the AFV kits. The AFV kit is far ahead of the Dragon kit.....my Dragon kit will be on ebay shortly.

Go with the AFV kit!!

Rounds Complete!!

Just ordered the AFV kit. I've been waiting for this kit for a few years.
