This is the old Tamiya kit from 1974. So far a super simple and easy build. Actually coming together quite quickly.  |

That kit is a fun easy build. A great weekend project between a day of building and a day of painting…
The interesting thing about the Tamiya Lee is that they went with the Diesel engined variant, which only saw use with US forces on Makin island in 1943. For historical accuracy, you’d need to swap hulls and fittings with the Tamiya Grant for the proper radial gasoline engine type used by the US in North Africa.
