We managed to get the M3 Lee back into the museum yesterday and that's made room for us to start on the M3a1 Stuart in the workshops. Never a dull moment.

Could someone explain the priapic M3?  That 75mm looks to be twice as long as it ought to be!

[Techno II]

I don't know what they should really look like......

But if those have been 'poshed up'........what a storming job !

Cheers - Phil.

Two versions of the US 75mm fitted to the M3 Medium tank - the M2 (31 calibers) and the longer M3 (40 calibers). The M3 was also used on the M4 Medium tank.

And . . .

The Americans don't make it easy, do they. There's at least an M3 Medium tank, an M3 gun, an M3 Light tank and an M3 Half-track that I can name right off the bat.

M3 White Scout Car also

Did you mean the M3 submachine gun, the M3 37mm gun or the M3 75mm gun?

Happy to help

I suspect they used a wide angle lens that distorts most at the edges...

Perhaps they have elevated it to stop people walking into it

Is it  just "pleased to see you", or masquerading as a dalek.

Is it a command tank dummy gun?

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Does look rather too long though.

[toxicpixie]

I think it's a panoramic lense - look at the back of the kubelwagon stretching...

Maaaat-ron!

There's also an M3 90mm gun, and an M3 105mm howitzer.

The M3 machine gun, a variant of the M2 (aka Browning .50 cal). Both of which use the M2 tripod. Also the M3 submachine gun (aka "grease gun").

It's how Bilko kept his job in logistics without ever delivering any vehicles to frontline units.

M3 fighting knife, the one you DO bring to a gunfight.
