The United States M3 Lee which of which 6,258 were built by five different manufacturing companies during WW2. This was the first olive drab tank I’ve done and required a slightly different approach when it came to weathering.
Plastic and wooden models made by me with over 80+ builds posted here. Be sure to click on “Older Posts” near the bottom of each page. All armor/military models are 1/35 scale, F1 cars are 1/12, aircraft are 1/48, submarines are 1/350 and wooden models in various scales. After a 40+ year hiatus I am trying to hone my skill sets as best I can while having fun. It’s been a very steep learning curve after being “out of the water” for decades!
