Historical Description and Vehicle Use

The M3 medium tank, known in the M3A4 variant, was one of the key armored designs of the United States at the beginning of World War II. The vehicle was used mainly on the North African front and by the British Army, where it was known as "Lee" and "Grant"—depending on the turret configuration. The M3A4 was renowned for its distinctive high hull and the use of a sponson-mounted gun, which set it apart from other armored weapons of the period. The tank was actively used from 1941 until it was replaced by more modern designs, such as the M4 Sherman.

Add-ons and Build Quality

The model is made from precisely molded plastic. Of particular note are the individually assembled track links and photo-etched elements, allowing the miniature to feature details impossible to replicate with traditional techniques. Multi-directional slide moulding technology enables the hull and turret to be reproduced with a wealth of authentic details.
