Still here but teaching in a COVID world doesn't leave much time for the hobby...luckily running the AMPS review program keeps me involved

Recently started building aircraft again and I'm glad I took a break from it to learn more as my painting and weathering skills needed an overhaul. Just spent 6-7 years watching others and learning.

Thanks Mike, yeah Eric, Mike and James all gave me a heads up about this. I'll probably pass on this as I have several kits already of the Lee and the Miniart does not have interior.
Joe I've been obsessed with the idea of building Lullubelle for years and got real close with the Academy kit but had the wind knocked out when the Friel tracks didn't fit the running gear.

I picked up those figures a few years ago along with the Takom kit, also found some lulubelle decals, in my mind was thinking of pairing it with a Kubelwagon and some Germans in a scene titled "Guns for Water"
Wasn't Lulubelle OD

There has been two movies Sahara, actually 3 but one of them didn't have a Lee tanks.
The 1943 film with Bogart as Sgt Joe Gun, Lullubelle was OD. The 1995 one with Jim Belushi in the Joe Gun role is a desert yellow color.

Wasn't there a Lee tank in the movie "1941" running around with Dan Akroyd in it?

You know it, it also was named Lullubelle, Spielbergs hat tip to the original movie.
Crying shame I can't find a clip of that tank going through the paint factory.

I have that movie (someplace) Will just have to dig it up I guess.
