Since my local hobby guy has closed back up (Covid) and I can’t browse, and I’ve wanted to do a Takom Lee for while, this was the next best thing. Plus, I have a bunch of Sherman parts handy right now, and I had the Lee kit still in the wrap with a $9 price tag on it, from a show purchase who knows how long ago. Like a lot of people, I’ve built this kit several times already, and in fact have a couple down in the bottom the my small display case that I did as painting exercises, with the rear hull “corrected” somewhat. But this time, I’m going to try and fix as much as I can and do it before King’s opens back up and I buy a Takom kit. So far I have the lower hull well along using road wheels from Tamiya’s M4 “early” kit, Tasca sprockets and tracks and a 75 mm barrel from RB. I found a turret on Ebay (Panzer Art) pretty cheap so it’s on, and I’ve used a rear hull plate from Italeri and bits and pieces from whatever box is open in front of me.

I also have some Eduard PE just for fun.
