tamiya m3 lee

very long time ago, after watching the original Sahara movie in the 1970s, I wanted to build an M3 Lee. Back then scale didn't matter and I built the original Monogram kit. It was decent. A few years later, I saw the Airfix 1/32 scale kit. I thought it was outstanding. Then I saw the Tamiya kit in the early 1980s while in college. It was the worst of the three Lees.

Might have gotten a "Monday kit".... IIRC, I didn't have any problems with it, but it's been so long since I built one.. I built it whiledoing Monogram's Lee kit...

The plan, well... I built both for a N. Africa diorama, but the scale differences were too apparent. Couldn't put 'em in the open, so I tried a shadow box and "forced perspective", and there it was opposite because the scale sizes weren't far enough apart, lol...

Anyway, what's the major fit-problem(s)?

Nah, I did not think so... at least when I built mine in the 80s...

 So it's THAT  bad?

              

  Here, lemme help.

                          

Well it is an old kit, first released back in the dark ages of the 1970s... Post some photos of yours...
