Description
The MiniArt 1/35 Australian M3 Lee Interior Kit (with Australian Decals) is a highly advanced, museum-quality multi-media scale model replicating the American-built medium tank as configured for the Australian Army during World War II. This variant is a signature release in MiniArt’s comprehensive interior series, packed with complex internal sub-assemblies.
Key Kit Features
-
- Total Interior Replication: Includes a completely populated fighting compartment, detailed driver’s station, full radio arrays, and internal ammunition racks holding individual, scale-accurate shell casings.
- Continental R975 Engine: Features a highly precise, multi-part replica of the radial engine assembly, permitting modelers to display the rear deck hatches completely open.
- Dual-Gun Configuration: Accurately reproduces both internal breach assemblies for the sponson-mounted 75mm main gun and the top turret-mounted 37mm gun.
- Workable T41 Tracks: Supplied with individual, workable track links designed to capture authentic heavy vehicle track sag on standard suspension bogies.
- Australian Decal Pack: Features a targeted waterslide decal sheet with specialized marking options for 4 distinct Australian Army vehicles serving between 1942 and 1944.
- Multi-Media Accents: Boxed with a dedicated fret of photo-etched metal parts for fine structural trim (brackets, straps, and brush guards) and clear components for vision blocks.
Build Considerations
- Skill Level: Expert / Master. Reviewers highlight that constructing the internal framework requires careful multi-stage paint planning and alignment checks before sealing the hull plates.
- Exclusions: The kit requires complete self-assembly and painting. Plastic adhesive, cyanoacrylate (for photo-etch), tools, and scale modelling paints must be sourced separately.
