    You need a set of these. T84 chevron 3D "engineering resin" printed pads on Tamiya linkages and guide teeth. Basically swapping out Tamiya pads for T84 chevrons.

    The big difference in the M50 is it uses the round 75mm Sherman turret and a smaller 75mm gun with a small break, the M51 uses the 76mm T23 Sherman turret and that massive 105mm gun with the big muzzle break.

    Here's a neat Video by The Chieftain on the M50-

    I would have but I only had two half charged batteries on hand and installed. One in the GX and the other in my M51-L7. And well snow in SoCal doesn't last but a few minutes.....LoL. Just grabbed what was in front of me.

    Looks great Bob. Here in sunny Florida we have the same "problem: of no snow. Once for a winter photo shoot, I used flour on the diorama. Actually, looked pretty decent.

    I know, I know, it isn't as dramatic as MrChef's photos, but it's the best we could do in "sunny Southern California"!

    Anyway, it's always good to be prepared with winter camo tanks...

    We had a "graupel" event here in San Diego. Rare, similar to hail.

    The sand being thrown up by the tracks makes this photo one of the most realistist ones I have seen. Great job!

    Looks great. Always like to see a pic of a tank in the wild.
