It has WE-210 track not the T-41. Though I think at least one of markings options had the T-41.

I'd rather have the interior for "hatches open," but I know lots of y'all will want the cheaper kit, so I'm glad MA has released this.

The large doors on the sides of the hull do allow for a lot of that interior to be seen.

Well, there y'are! Our British Friends will have to wait if they want to build a MINIART Grant Mk.I WITH an Interior. One thing's for sure- Model manufacturers have repeatedly PROVEN that they are consistently inconsistent...

Many of the parts of the US M3 Lee version are interchangeable with the British Mk.I Grant, isn't that so..? So WHY on earth would MINIART release the first of the British versions WITHOUT an Interior..?

My "HURRAH" for this one will be just a bit more muted than the last time, when the MINIART US M3 w/Interior made its appearance...

Our British Friends have my empathy...

Hurrah! With or without interiors this is great! My rather old Tamiya will see service as a nephew-built kit soon and I'll update to something that has the detail level I crave.

As Crimeans, Miniart has been a Russian country for some time.

OOPS!!! That went right by me. Apologies to MINIART. But my statement about model manufacturers "being consistently inconsistent" still stands...

How has MINIART been a Russian country, if I may ask..?

PS- DON'T get me going on what is rightfully Ukraine's, and what Russians THINK is supposed to be THEIRS. Besides, this hobby site is supposed to be apolitical, so let's leave "politics" in the sewer where they belong...
