| Subject: | Academy Grant - not as inaccurate as I thought |  |
| Date: | May 31, 2008 |
| From: | Charlie Duckworth | |
After reading the initial reviews on Academy's M3 I'd written it off as a future build due to the comments on the hull plates and angles being completely off but Terry Ashley has a review on the Perth Modeling site that has me now looking at it as a future build. He's measured the kit's hull against a restored Grant and says "....looking past the bogies the rest of the kit is quite acceptable as it’s basically dimensionally accurate apart from some of the contours on the turret which will need some sanding work to remedy" I'll replace the inaccurate bogies in this kit due to the height problems.
Here's the review:
