Retooled M3 Lee?

[Uruk-Hai]

Hello!

I saw on Lucky Models that they sell the M3 Lee with "all new tooling"?
What does it mean? Could they have fixed the dimensional errors on the bogies?
See for yourself (http://www.luckymodel.com/?ad=ml)

Here are a few reviews on it, But I think it still has a few problems.

I would guess they mean they now have the all new tool Academy M3 in stock. In this case "all new tool" means just that, it is new tool, even with the mistakes it is still the newest and most accurate M3 available.

It might just have something to do with the fact that accademy used to re-box old tamiya kits (panzer IV H and Stug IV to name a few) and they would like to point out that this M3 is not a rebox of the old tamiya offering ;)
just my €0,02....

Thanks for chipping in fellows. :)

Just as I suspected, they wanna point out that this is not a Tamiya rip-off. :angry:

Seems like its merely Trumpeter and Dragon which revise their tooling. Thumbs up for them.
