We've been hearing about the Academy M3 kits for years and nothing ! I'm glad someone stepped up, we've needed a modern made accurate kit for years. I'm debating to preorder ...

 

Academy released their Lee and Grant kits years ago. Dragon had said they had one in the pipeline for years, but still nothing. I'm sure these new Takom kits will be quite nice. I'm really surprised that Tasca/Asuka has not gone down the M3 Medium path. They share common hull and suspension with their early model M4's.

Lol, I was thinking of posting this here myself! 

I keep hearing different opinions on the Academy Lee/Grant- some say it's a very good kit and some it's terrible. Happy to see Takom jump in though- the few models I've bought from them have been an excellent kits.

Posted by mic53mlb on Tuesday, July 11, 2017 10:22 AM

I don't know if this has been posted here yet but if not .... I have good news Takom is releasing an early M3 Lee and M3 Grant in 1/35 scale due out in August 2017 !! Hobby Link Japan www.hlj.com is taking preorders now. Estimated price $41.69 USD.  Quote:

" Armor modeling fans have been waiting for some accurate kits of the M3 Lee for some time, and Takom is set to deliver!

According to the manufacturer, this kit features hatches that can be built in open or closed positions, link-and-length track assembly that is aided with the use of an enclosed jig, and four kinds of marking options, including Russian markings! "
