First Class  :wub: The weathering is superb too. Dirty but not so covered that you lose the whole model!!  :smiley:

Glad to see this got a Whiffie Nomination... You are now the odds on favorite in about 3 different categories!!   :bow: :bow:

Thanks all ya'll :wub: I suspect you are correct Frank. I wonder about the scale correctness of the model also. I purposely got a 1/32 scale Lee so I could scaleorama it to 1/35 . Frankly comparing it to the figures included with both kits I would say that neither are actually the stated scale. I have several other tank kits and unless the Lee was a lot smaller than I had pictured I would put this at somewhere around 1/40 .
I amuse me.

You could always have automated gear inside. Auto loaders, remote turrets etc.

Ron, they were pretty small tanks. How do the 1/35 & 1/32 figures compare to this?



It's possible that Revell repackaged an old 1/40 tank as 1/35... it's been known to happen (often).

Actually that looks pretty accurate. I did not realize they were that small. :blink: :o

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Yep, 222" OAL (without gun/sandshields) and 123" Tall, which works out to 6.9375" long by 3.84375" tall in 1/32nd.
The M3 was directly based on the earlier M2 Medium, which was not a very large vehicle.

Measurements from the afvdb M3 Lee page:

It is quite a handy site:
