Description:
Starting off with the British Lees in Burma,
covering five known names in total. These
long-barreled Lees belonged to the 150th Regiment
RAC, which were reinforced with cannibalized M3
Stuart parts and Valentine tracks. Next comes the
elusive "Atlanta II", whose marking colors are
questionable due to its unknown unit identity. Red
or yellow, you make the call. The details of the
tank name has been fully captured.
The Scots Greys were active in North Africa.
"April V" and "Allysloper" were two of their
Grants, along with "Aigreadsios II" (Airgeadsios
misspell, incomplete marking). All were named
after famous race horses of that time period
(thanks to Ken Jones for his splendid research
effort!) The remaining options are Aussie's
2/9th Regiment Grant, an M3A2 chassis with
interesting Australian army camouflage, 1st AD
(UK) Grant with the famous blue-squared "8"
(complete with WDN), and 3rd CLY's
uniquely-marked pair of Grants ("Defiance III"
and "Stowford"). Ken Jones aptly called
"Defiance III" a "moving billboard" as it was
painted with sorts of markings on its front
fenders.
