Haya M3 Lee 1/16 RTR

Post by lmcq11 »

Hi,

Saw this today. The turret is similar to the Vandra resin kit. I wonder what is the problem making an accurate M3 turret...

Hi, If you type in "Lee/Grant" in to the search box on the top right side of this page you will get a lot of good information on this kit.

This one has a Lee look alike turret instead of a Grant. Did not see it before.

If you mean the tank on ebay, that's a bit of a hybrid. It has the original looking turret, but for a Lee, it should have an additional machine gun cupola. Without the additional cupola it should have a cast turret to make it a Grant.

Wow. $500 US for a plastic tank. Hmmm.

On his UK web site it is £274.99 excluding VAT, or $342, plus shipping. It ha gone up recently, presumably as the imported chassis has increased as a result of the drop in the value of Sterling.
