During World War II, the uniquely shaped “M3 Lee Late Production Model” tore through battlefields. Now, MiniArt has precisely recreated this distinctive tank as a 1/35 scale plastic model kit. This kit is more than just a build—it’s a full-scale modeling experience requiring glue, tools, and paint. With focused effort, you’ll capture the weight and presence of a real armored machine right at your fingertips. The intricate molding and realistic detailing—so refined it’s hard to believe it’s plastic—ignite the passion of anyone who builds it.

As an unpainted, assembly-required kit, the M3 Lee Late Model offers a uniquely immersive building experience. From choosing the right glue to carefully assembling each piece, the time spent deepens your attachment to the build. And at the moment you apply paint, the once inanimate plastic springs to life, beginning to tell its historical story. Selecting your tools and paints isn’t just prep—it’s part of the ritual. It's a cherished ceremony to create a machine that’s truly your own. When it’s finished, what you hold is not just a model, but a battlefield hero crafted by your own hands.

The 1/35 scale strikes the perfect balance for pursuing realism in modeling. The details of the M3 Lee at this scale capture the intensity and presence of the real machine used in combat. From the turret shape to the hull lines and every rivet, you’ll feel MiniArt’s dedication to recreating a historical moment. The sheer level of detail alone makes this kit worth the challenge for any modeler.

The M3 Lee Late Model was one of the key medium tanks deployed by the U.S. military to shift the tide of war. However, its distinctive multi-turret setup and large frame also brought operational challenges. Building this kit allows you to naturally grasp its design philosophy and battlefield role. It’s not just about aesthetics—this is a model with depth, one that invites you to reflect on its history and engineering.
