Formations, unlike other AM companies, cover a smaller range of vehicles, but produce sets covering all aspects. Typical of this approach are these new Update/Conversion set for the Lee in 1/35th scale.

The first of these is a conversion set:

F124 - M3A1 Cast Hull Lee Conversion for Academy ($60)

This is an extensive and accurate conversion for the Academy kit 13206 and includes the upper hull, turret, both gun rotors, fenders, trans/final drive cover, exhaust, air cleaners, and lower hull rear plate.

Onto the Update/Detail sets:

F125 - M3 Lee/Grant Transmission/Final Drive Cover for Academy kits ($12)

This is from the Lee conversion and includes the detailed front fenders. It has beautiful cast texture and accurate foundry marks.

F126 - M3 Lee Turret for Academy Kit ($15)

Direct replacement for the Academy parts, corrects the contours of the turret shell, and the profile of the gun rotor. Includes M.G. barrels and can be built with or without the stabilizer counter weight.

F127 - Square Air Cleaners and Fish Tail Exhausts for Academy Lee/Grant kits ($10)

Replacement exhaust, air cleaners, and lower hull rear plate. Simple direct fit parts to replace the pepperpot kit parts.

Now, a word from Rob Ervin the Owner of Formations:

Now for a little info about Formations. We have been in business over 7 years and appreciate the continued support of so many of our loyal customers. We have a number of exciting new releases in the works, including new Ram tank conversions, parts for the Dragon Priest, more Sherman details including a small hatch M4 composite upper hull, M47 detail parts, even some complete kits that will have fans of Canadian soft skins cheering. But economic times are tough and I may be forced to make the business a part time side line unless things improve. This could adversely effect the flow of new releases. If you like what we have done in the past, and what we are planning, vote with your wallet. Your support at this time could make a big difference in our future as a company.
