Description Extended Information
 
DeAgostini DATW14 Russian M3 Lee Medium Tank - Eastern Front, 1944 (1:43 Scale) "By powerful artillery fire, air strikes, and a wave of attacking tanks, we're supposed to swiftly crush the enemy."
- Marshal Georgi K. Zhukov

The Medium Tank M3 was an American tank used during World War II. In Britain the tank was called "General Lee" named after General Robert E. Lee, and its modified version built to British specification, with a new turret, was called "General Grant" named after General Ulysses S. Grant.

As a rush job intended to be brought from design to production in a short period, the M3 was well armed and armored for the period, but due to various shortcomings (high silhouette, archaic sponson mounting of the main gun, below average off-road performance) it was not competitive and was withdrawn from frontline duty as soon as the M4 Sherman became available in large numbers.

Pictured here is a 1:43 scale replica of a US-built M3 Lee medium tank that was pressed into service by the Red Army as part of the Lend-Lease Program in 1944. Now in stock!
