It was designed to meet the needs of Allied armies for a lightly armored yet heavily armed combat vehicle. The M3 Lee was mainly used by the American and British armies, as well as the Soviet Union through the Lend-Lease program. Lee tanks were widely used in operations in North Africa (the Libyan campaign, the Battle of El Alamein – 1941-1943), as well as in the Pacific and Eastern Europe. The vehicle was in service from 1941 to 1945, which was a key phase of World War II.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eScale: 1:72 – allows for the construction of a compact model that fits perfectly with other vehicles from this era.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eUser countries: United States, United Kingdom (Grant version), USSR.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaterial: high-quality plastic ensuring durability and ease of processing all components.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThe model includes many details reflecting the authentic design of the Lee Mk I tank, including armament, turrets, and the characteristic silhouette with two fighting compartments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAn ideal base for your own modifications and painting, with the possibility of using aftermarket upgrade sets (e.g., resin or photo-etched parts).\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThe kit does not include glue or paints—products dedicated to plastic models are recommended.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eCategory and Recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The product belongs to the category: \u003cstrong\u003eplastic model kit\u003c\/strong\u003e.
