Here's my fix for that.

[761st]

In spite of all that interferers with the joys of life, we managed a little tank time and threw a track in the process.

Well, I bit the bullet again and here's the outcome.




My new M14A3 Walker Bulldog. My first USA tank.

Finished printed M4A3E8, still using the printed tracks vs HL Pershing tracks.

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.

Looks pretty good. How does it run?

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 is an M50 built from an M4a4

That's actually an M50. The main visual difference is the gun. The M50 used a 76mm gun, the M51 used the much larger 105mm gun.

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

Thanks for the clarification!

I knew I had seen an M51 somewhere... Wikieup, AZ at the live fire MG shoot.

The California Snow Squadron! If you put your Pershing out there, it'll be an official "Snow Leopard" in Heng Long parlance!

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.

Some T72 "GX" light snow play fun.

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.

[SoCalBobS]

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.

Got a dusting last night providing opportunity for my KV-1 to use its winter camo-

Great photos shoot!! Love the entire mucky weathered cold look of the tank and environmental.
