Looks like M3 oob can only be done as pre war or training. I don't see any counter weight for the 75mm gun or 37mm gun, or long barrel 75, also no stowage boxes that I can see. But we will have to wait to see when somone has it in their hands. Hope this answers Herve Charbonneau question from another site.

It is listed as an "M3 LEE early". Where there is an "early" there is probably also a "late".

And Russian. The photographic evidence supports Lend lease Lee's being partially unmodified early production just as shown on the box art.
If there's a "late", should we expect a "mid"?

Someone on eBay is listing both the Lee and Grant for sale now.

I'm glad to see they are including an assembly jig for the tracks. That is one tool I certainly think is a good idea for armor models.

I hope there will be a US boxing for the vehicles used in Tunisia. But it is good that we can finally put Academy's dog of a kit to rest.
