M3 Lee Mid

1/35 scale Takom kit #2089

Just for once, this one is straight from the box !
Not a lot to say, very nice kit ! Quite easy to build, but the hull assembly could be tricky .. All panels are assembled by miter (instead of using the real vehicle panels cutout ..), so one misalignment could make all the hull crooked !

The only modifications was to remake the casting texture on the front, also to hide parts assembly who are cast in one parts on the real one. Second was to make the idler wheel movable, by drilling the hull and add a 2mm styrene rod.

Machine gun will be replaced by Academy one's, they are more detailled than kit parts (which have not muzzle drilled ...)
