British M3 Grant Tank

This is a old kit. It is a simple kit and would be great for a starter kit. I drilled out the barrel on the 37mm gun. Added wires to the head set and on the microphone on the tank commander. Also added a wire for the radio antenna. Painted all desert yellow and added weathering to high light the details on the tank. My reference material showed the skirts being olive drab, but I painted them all desert yellow. Pro: Easy instructions and parts went together good. The decals went on smoothly. Decals for two divisions from the battle of El Alamein and battle of Gazala. One figure is included (tank commander). Rubber tracks included. Had no trouble with them. Con: The only problem I had was gaps when adding the side sand skirts. I had to use some filler on the skirts and left some minor gaps. This being a old kit really turned out nice. Looks good next to my Tamiya M3 Lee.

this like the lee kit is a nice easy build and great for new builders

An easy, good build. Just like in my teen days, many moons ago. A few days of relaxing assembly and painting yields a nice model of an armored game changer. The only problem I had was the tracks. They were fine, glued and reinforced with staples. The staples got a touch of paint and 20 minutes, or so, drying time outside. It was 118* Fahrenheit today. My bad. They shrunk to a brittle 1/48 scale, roughly.
