Entering American service in 1941, the M3 Medium Tank was designed to serve as an interim tank while the M4 Sherman was developed and put into production. Despite this, it was by no means a poor vehicle, boasting excellent mechanical reliability and powerful firepower, albeit in a somewhat archaic layout.
This kit allows you to build the M3 (known to the British in this configuration as the ‘Lee’), a powerful Medium tank able to be fielded by US, British, and Soviet forces. You can build this vehicle with the earlier short-barrelled or later long-barrelled main gun - in games of Bolt Action we treat the M3 as a Medium tank with a 9+ damage value, armed with a medium anti-tank gun in the hull, and a light anti-tank gun in the turret, plus a medium machine gun.
Whether you’re in the Western Desert with US or British forces, or equipping your Soviet troops with Lend-Lease armour, the M3 Lee is a great option.
This box contains:
- One plastic M3 Lee medium tank
- Decal sheet
- Bolt Action vehicle stat card
- Vehicle damage markers
Note: Models supplied unassembled and unpainted. Plastic and Warlord resin.
