Grant the Tank, Not the General

The British were in desperate need for tanks.

The British sent men to the USA to buy tanks.

They wanted to buy Lee tanks but the turret was too tall and they wanted to put a radio in the turret.

So they redesigned the turret to remove the cupola and added a bustle.

Made a few minor other changes and purchased all they could get.

They purchased Lee tanks until the Grant was ready.

The US Army sent three tank crews to serve with the British in North Africa to gain combat experience, they crewed Grant tanks!  HO scale model in soft metal by Reviersco.
