Some minor turret bits and the clamp on the FDA for barbed wire are done. I need to order a book to see some other things, but I may go ahead and scratch up the correct, latest rear stowage bin. I have a Legends part and an Academy part, and both are for the cast hull. I don't know if the same part (narrow) was used on the very few welded hull M51s made or not.

Done! Except for crew gear and paint and markings and weathering......  IMG_6847 by Russel Baer, on Flickr  IMG_6848 by Russel Baer, on Flickr I had to go back to an earlier engine deck, move the gun travel lock mounts and a couple of small things, but other than that it's basically done. I really like the SabingaMartin Sherman books..... |

I done it!  IMG_8913 by Russel Baer, on Flickr The wind died, it's about 75 degrees out and there's no construction traffic, so the paint shop opened up. |

Gotta be careful with your time period with M50s and M51s...both of them changed so much over time, especially between 1965 and 1975. This subject is a rarity; only about a dozen welded hulls were converted into M51s. Most if not all of them survived to be supplied to Chile years later.
