M3 LEE TANK - BOLTED HULL
Scale: 1/35
Brand: Academy
Part #13206

The M3 Lee was the first modern American medium battle tank
employed in combat in World War II. It saw action with the
British in North Africa as early as 1941 & the South pacific
theater along with the M4 Sherman tank.

The M3 was the result of crisis management that was prevalent
immediately following the fall of France. No tank in history ever
went from design to production faster than the M3. As furnished
to the British under the lend-lease program, this first model of
the M3 medium tank was nicknamed the General Lee by the British.

This 100% new tooling, 1/35 scale M3 Lee Rivet Hull has
certainly been worth the wait. Academy really nailed this
magnificent war machine. It incorporates the early type Vertical
Volute Spring Suspension (VVSS) and each individual rivet that?s
studded along the entire body is faithfully reproduced.

The shape of the M3?s unique polygonal body & cast turret is
perfectly made, as is the exquisitely detailed interior of the
turret. Modelers have a choice of assembling the long barrel 75mm
gun or the short barrel. Beautifully molded flexible track and
crisp, accurate decals add to the impressiveness of detail that
Academy brings to this new release.
