And Oh yeah....
I'm kinda thinking of diving right in after this build with all the thoughts about the kit still in my head.

Completed???How many M3 Lee tanks in a platoon?
This is one....Do you know how many Lee tanks had the twin forward firing .30 caliber gun mod?
In the absence of a bow gunner, this gives the driver a nice punch of his own. I imagine the .30 caliber noise happens outside the hull.This is one....
I know there were not many, they took up some room and I'm sure they were very noisy inside the tank.
The guns were more trouble than they were worth. They were designed to fight WW1 again when tanks would advance with the infantry, provide suppresion fire and take out gun positions with their main guns once they were identified. They would then exploit any break through like traditional horse cavalry would, rampaging through the enemy rear echeleon. The driver had enough work to do driving the tank and manoeuvring it to employ the 75mm without worrying about employing the twin .30's plus the added workload of stripping and cleaning two more guns after every action and was soon declared useless.This is one....

And in this kit there are 3 parts for the various options, plugged or unplugged.. It appears the gun ports remained throughout M3/Lee/Grant production but were plugged at the factory on late production vehicles
