Panzer Art GB35-076 is a high-quality upgrade set dedicated to armor modelers building vehicles in 1/35 scale. This product includes a realistically and finely detailed gun mantlet for the British M3 Grant tank, equipped with a dust cover and a precisely crafted metal M2 barrel. It is intended for advanced enhancement or replacement of elements in plastic models, raising the realism of the finished replica.

Purpose and Historical Application

The M3 Grant is the British variant of the American M3 Lee medium tank, which saw extensive use during World War II—especially by British and Commonwealth forces between 1941 and 1943. The Grant variant differed primarily in its turret and equipment, adapted for British requirements. Its most notable service came during the North African campaign, where it played an important role as fire support against German Panzer III and IV tanks. The tank featured dual armament—a 37 mm turret gun and a 75 mm hull gun. This Panzer Art set is specifically designed for the latter.
