Now...The GUP LEE.....Perfect form ...exactly how it is in the Anime...
I'm not sure this will ever translate into a 1/16th model...It's a very ambitious undertaking to make all the components work...what's interesting is...it was genius of the Animator to choose pink for this tank ....because for some reason it just plain ol' matches it
I really enjoyed painting the two of these...the adventure went without a hitch...actually took less time than I anticipated...all in all...that auction plus the additional tracks was well worth the expense
PANZER VOR!!!! Gents

Jeezus . H. Christ Mr Alpha !!
What have I told you about bushwhacking peoples eyes with the pink-tank thingo ??
How bout a warning/parental guidance rating/censor rating before you just "whip it out" so to speak hmmm
I was watching close to see if I could figure out that tank you called a Lee Grant, and it has the strangest top turret, then I see a familiar Lee Grant, but the flamin things destroyed my retinas before I could reach for my M.I.B. shades
Its easy.........................."Caution-rated 'P' , contains low level construction violence scenes and PINK BLOODY TANKS"

ROTFLOL Herman ...I know deep inside you like pink on tanks ...I tell you what though...I'm letting you off on that Sherman you have to do for the little woman...it just wouldn't look right in pink....Now...With that said...if you did a conversion...you know I'll be there ...Pink has to go on the Lee ...for some reason...I don't know why...it just sits right on it

Here you go Herman....After acquiring the kit...I googled LEE/GRANT CDL...the tank has quite the moniker and apparently the kit has been around for years...more common now in 1/72nd scale https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canal_Defence_Light
If anything else...It's cool looking
