This Tamiya model recreates the British Army Medium Tank M3 Grant Mk I. Struggling to contain the Africa Corps led by Rommel, British troops in North Africa had lost most of their armour in the evacuation from Dunkirk. A much-needed boost was provided by the M3 Grant medium tank — a British-modified variant of the U.S. M3 Lee. While the 75mm main gun remained unaltered, a larger turret was installed for the 37mm gun, and the 7.62mm machine gun removed from its top. The M3 Grant suffered from notable problems such as limited traverse of the 75mm gun and a conspicuously tall silhouette, but its firepower proved sufficient to take on opposing Panzer IIIs and IVs, leading to the start of a British fightback in North Africa.
