Description

This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

The M3 medium tank was developed and manufactured in the United States during World War II. When the German Army began the Western Blitzkrieg in May 1940, the U.S. Army determined that the 37mm tank cannons of its M2A1 medium tanks were insufficiently powerful, and hurriedly developed a new model equipped with 75mm tank cannons. At that time, the United States had no experience in developing a tank equipped with a 75mm gun in a rotating turret, so it was decided in June 1940 to develop a medium tank equipped with a 75mm gun on the front right side of the hull. As a result, the M3 medium tank carries an M2 75mm gun on the right sponson of the hull, a small all-round rotating turret with a 37mm secondary gun on the top of the fighting compartment, and a 7.62mm machine gun above it. It was completed as an irregularly shaped tank equipped with a long cupola. Mass production of the first M3 began in June 1941, and by August of the following year, 3,923 of the vehicle had been produced. Although the M3 had many problems because it was a hastily manufactured product, it was superior in firepower, armor, and reliability compared to the Axis tanks of the same period; even the British Army, to which the M3 was supplied, had many problems when supply began. It was superior in overall ability to any tank owned by the Army.
