It was distinguished by its unusual, asymmetrical design—the main 75 mm gun was mounted in the hull, while the second, 37 mm gun, was placed in a rotating turret on the vehicle's roof. M3 Lee tanks were widely used by the US Army and the Allies, particularly on the North African and Asian fronts. An example is the participation of the M3 Lee in the Battle of Gazala (1942), where it supported British forces. The tank was actively used between 1941 and 1943, after which it was gradually replaced by the more advanced M4 Sherman.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTamiya Model Features and Contents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRich detailing of the hull and turret, accurate representation of suspension and running gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic reproduction of the gun arrangement and turret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrew figure included for painting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParts for self-assembly, precisely fitting components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePossibility of creating realistic painting and weathering effects (with separate purchase of appropriate products)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe \u003cstrong\u003eTamiya 35039 M3 Lee (1\/35)\u003c\/strong\u003e model is recommended for both intermediate and experienced modellers interested in World War II armored vehicles.
