I would love a Lee tank and as far as the IR Sherman ,I think thats dead , Its been over a year and most every one who wanted IR have put it in already.
I think they dropped a ball on this one. All it would take is a new top and bang you have a Grant.
Does any one make a Lee / Grant kit that you can put on the Sherman lower hull ???

I came sorta close, but no cigar! A few years ago I did a static Lee.....but it was for me, not for production. Then I got 2 lower VVSS hulls from Phil with the idea to R/C it. I think I could do it without too much work. I am amazed with how close the dimensions of my topworks fits the lower VVSS hull. I finally got something right. Usually I measure twice, cut once, and then measure a third time and cut again. I will need to build a new three piece bolted tranny cover. The track pattern of the VVSS will not be accurate, but I can live with that. I also made a Grant turret for it but there are other differences between the US/British variaions that would have to be interchangeable as well. I may finally get around to doing the conversion of this thing. LuLuBelle from Bogart's Sahara may finally see the light of day!
