The remaining three selections this week will be from a very good sale at Spirit of '76. To complete our armor selections, we have a 1:32 scale Forces of Valor Grant tank from North Africa and for only $18.99.

UK M3 Grant (El Alamein) - The M3 Grant was a United States tank design that was modified for the British Army. The British Government had sought a complete British design, but had to accept a modified U.S. designed Tank. The British Army did not like the high profile of the standard U.S. turret, so they offered a lower profile turret with more crew space that would fit within the same turret ring.
