Mirage 1/72 M3 Grant Mk I - Battle of El Alamein 1942\n\nBritish Medium Tank\n\n20mm Scale\n\nRef No : MIR728004\n\nBrand new and unbuilt. \n\nSeeing extensive action in the North African desert, the M3 Grant was the British version of the American M3 Lee tank and was introduced in response to the problem of Allied tanks being outgunned by German equivalents. The M3 mounted a 75mm in the right sponson and a 37mm in the turret. Welcome as this was, the tank crews did experience problems with trying to get the vehicle into a hull down position and still be able to fire the 75mm. This lead to the problem of the M3 presenting a very high silhouette for German anti tank gunners. Eventually the M3 was replaced by the M4 Sherman.\n\nIncludes photo-etched parts.\n\nWhether for wargaming or just building for display this brand new kit is a beauty. Not to be missed.\n\nPlease feel free to email me with any questions you may have. Don't forget to check out my other items for sale. Check out my g
