Looking good so far Rick! The Lee is a really interesting Sherman variation with lots of possibilities. Should be an interesting project. I have the Takom Grant and hope to get to it one of these days before I'm 6 feet under!😂 Cheers.

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Thanks 👍

[@octopusm2m64]

Beautiful build looking forward to see it painted!!!

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

You and me both!

[@aaron2585]

This is great. I enjoy how you take a kit, provide historical context, and then insert it into history. The historical videos were informative to see where you are going with this. Also, the interior looked great, even if not many will see it or notice... Steve Jobs took pride in making the internal components of his products, that almost nobody would see, look elegant.

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Thanks Aaron. I appreciate your encouragement.

[@RimsModels]

Excellent video my friend loved the intro really looks a great kit nice job on the interior looks fantastic keep up the great work and stay safe 👍🙏

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Thank you kindly

[@longlance67]

oh this is gonna be very cool! Really interesting subject from a really overlocked campaign of the war, I am really excited to see this very unique M3 take shape!

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Hey Shane, thanks. I agree, I'm needing to do quite a bit of research myself in order to catch-up. As you say, an overlooked campaign.

[@longlance67]

@@RickLawlerPropaganda I was watching some good documentaries and lectures on this campaign here on KZbin its very sobering stuff to say the least

[@laszloharsanyi8320]

Thank you for the video, but I hope you noticed that the only M3 which corresponds to this kit version is the one on the bw photo right after the newsreel. All Lees in the video had the doors on both of their sides, while the one on the picture had only the vision slot on the right side. I don't know the Echelon decal set, so probably those markings are correct for this late version.

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Yes, you are right. I take care of this issue in the next episode. You have a good eye!

[@mrtyalcnky4586]

Great craftsmanship once more 👏👏👏 and right after you said you don't like interiors 😂 also if you haven't planned your next build, can you consider any variant of flak with small caliber like 2 or 3 or 3.7 cm‽

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Thank you, my friend. I appreciate your watching the channel and suggestions for upcoming topics.

[@WhiteGloveModels]

Man, you gotta love it when they smash all the sprues into one bag... Still, it looks like a nice kit and thankfully no damage. Thanks for sharing Rick. I may have to look into getting this one myself.

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Yep, a big pile of plastic! Thanks for watching.

[@BrailleScale]

Looks great Rick! Nice to be ahead of the game on your Patreon page as well :) you really wind up decking this Lee out. I may have to grab one of these Miniart kits for a North African build. I'm really impressed with a lot of their offerings. Take care

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Glad that you are along for the ride.

[@modelerjerry5119]

Love the history lessons given behind your builds. Very sweet touch. I'm glad to see you're warming up a bit to interior kits. I'm building a Miniart T55 full interior and man, Miniart certainly likes to boost the parts count by saying "hey, everyone else molds all that together....we're going to divide that into 50 separate pieces."....haha....at any rate. Thanks for another new series. You're going to make me want to get this kit too.

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

You nailed it. It is a wonderful kit, just a lot of parts - and in my case - parts that won't be seen again. But hey, what's the hurry?

[@gavinbooth]

I have wanted to build one of the mini art Grant/Lee for a while this hasn't helped with my no more kit buys until April promise , thanks Rick (for the video i mean ! ) Regards Gav.

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

April isn't too far away!!! Thanks for checking in, glad you enjoyed the video.

[@schweikces]

Lot of work for never be seen again, interiors are interesting and fun, great work anyway, let's wait for the next stages, many thanks Rick!!!

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Thanks a lot!

[@kenjohnston8173]

I was about to say u got a grant there, wth, but then u explained very nicely.

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Phew! It wouldn't have been the first time I'd made a mistake.

[@BobBritt]

Thanks Rick!

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Hi Bob, it's been a while! Thank you for watching.

[@701duran]

great video gonna sub

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Awesome thank you!

[@gregbeckman3922]

The old Miniart cram everything in one bag and vacuum out the air....I hope they move away from that approach....

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Luckily it arrived without damage or lost parts!! Thanks, Greg.

[@undeadichi]

that is a nice hunk of plastic

[@RickLawlerPropaganda]

Yes it is! Thanks buddy.
