73north Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 lovely Model - hard to believe ( when you play this tank in World of Tanks - its not very good ) that this had a vertical stabiliser and above all , saved us from a bad defeat in the Western Desert as it had a good accurate 75mm gun - that could fire a good High Explosive shell - so could take out Anti_TANK GUNS and above all , had a reliable engine and suspension , only the British made Valentine was as good ) at that time period ) I recommend Rude Mechanicals by AJ Smithers , to find out how bad our mid and early war tanks really were 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 Not sure what you mean, but this is a build from several years ago, and given my glacial build rate, I probably won't be revisiting it. Too many other fish to fry. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only Polish 1/72 kit of the M3 medium tank (and supposedly the best in this scale) is one from Mirage Hobby, available in 4 Lee and 4 Grant boxings. The one I have is the "Monty" command vehicle. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/mirage-hobby-720805-command-tank-grant-mki--108220 Cheers Michael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did mine in a similar scheme to this one. The Mirage one is a great little kit. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Gypsy Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 The 2nd Dragoon guards, The Queens Bays, were my Uncles old regiment . He was a tank commander who fought with them throughout the African campaign. Wounded three times, twice seriously. He's 92 now, alive and well and living with his Italian wife in a flat on our family farm. That's an absolutely cracking model which I'll show him tomorrow. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
