Completion is the goal I hear. Well I grabbed this shelf queen and got her on a base and found the motivation to finish it properly! Legends conversion set with Academy 1/35 M-3 Medium tank {Lee}. Had to rebuild the boom from Evergreen Styrene as the kit parts were too badly warped in two directions. Track is from a Tasca donor and all of the cables are made from .080 wire to .010 wire.

Excellent kitbash, and great finish and vignette!

I'm with Chris, I'd never seen a Lee recovery vehicle, was it rare? And were the guns dummies, or was the sponson gun left installed?
 
No. Not rare at all. The 37mm and 75mm are in fact dummy gun tubes. There is a door that the 75mm is attached to over the right hand sponson.
