M3 General Lee "Kursk"

Name M3 Lee „Battle of Kursk“ (cat. number 72806)

Manufacturer Mirage Hobby, Poland

Packing Hard paper box with nice boxart

Kit type Injected plastic, with some PE parts

Quality Kit contains four frames with gray plastic parts, vinyl tracks and some PE parts. Plastic parts are very clear, with sharp details and fine rivets (be careful when sanding!!!). Kit offers three variants of 75mm cannon, but with the exception of the boxart vehicle itis not clear, which machine was equipped with which gun. It will be necessary to check the reference database. PE parts are designed for side doors, grill and the reflector guards. I was disappointed when I saw the vinyl tracks, but to be honest, it could be worse. I tried to glue two pieces of their „frame“ together, it works both with using superglue or contacta.

Instructions Very clear, contain vehicle history and painting and marking guide

Decals Yes, for four Russian vehicles and two captured by Germans. I have some doubts about the yellow markings for three vehicles, but if you want them white, use the ACE L&L tanks in Red Army decal sheet.

General Impression & Note Haven’t built the kit yet, but it looks amazing. Comparing it with the old Hasegawa kit Mirage is unambiguously a winner, so it’s highly recommended. Thanks, thanks and once more thanks to Milan and Mirage Hobby for the review sample.
