M3 American Medium Tank Troop in 1/72 Scale

Build a coordinated group of three US Army M3 medium tanks with this 1/72 hard plastic kit from The Tabletop Workshop. Each tank is supplied as a multi-part model, creating a substantial assembly and painting project focused on American armour in North Africa during the Second World War.

The set includes crew figures and markings for US Army M3 tanks, supporting an authentic North African presentation across the three vehicles. Supplied unassembled and unpainted, the models are ready for you to create a consistent unit finish while using the crew and markings to bring character to the completed formation.

Build Three US Army M3 Tanks

With three complete medium tank kits in one box, this set provides the core of a grouped American armoured display. Building the vehicles together offers an enjoyable opportunity to apply a unified North Africa scheme and present the M3 as part of a larger operational formation rather than as a single vehicle.

The M3 Medium Tank

The M3 was rapidly developed in response to the US Army’s urgent requirement for armour during the early Second World War. Its design emerged at a time when a fully rotating turret for a high-velocity gun was not yet practical. The tank was also used by British forces, who named it the “Lee”, while this set specifically represents US Army vehicles operating in North Africa.

A Focused Multi-Vehicle Build

The compact 1/72 scale keeps the full three-tank formation manageable while delivering the visual impact of a complete unit. Display the completed M3 tanks together or combine them with complementary 1/72 vehicles to expand a collection of Second World War armour.

For modellers who enjoy coordinated projects, this combination of three multi-part tanks, crew figures and theatre-specific markings provides a rewarding subject with a clear historical setting. Explore more 1/72 vehicle kits and other historical scale model kits.
