Well Takom has released it's M31 today, but with all the issues that there M3 Lee has, I thought I would see if there was a review on it. After searching all the Armor Haunts, I found none. So one can only deduce that the known issues that plague the Lee and Grant kits, also are prominent with this kit.

Which brings me to the possibility of Miniart producing this kit. If they do, and learn from all the blemishes that are found on the Tamiya, Academy, and the Takom, they could steal the M3 families kits .

If anyone see's more about this Miniart release share it with the community please.

Can you list "all the issues" with the Takom kits, and how difficult were they to overcome when you built yours?

Mine is currently shipping.

I'm a little surprised that there have been no sprue shots of their M31.

What issues have you heard of with their Lee and Grant kits? I have seen nothing but great reviews on them.

I've had one since early in the month. I didn't take any photos (I've seen them, though) but gave a written description.
