Product Description

This set combines my M50 Shreman mantlet (movable) and M50 bustle extension. This set will be most helpful in updating existing M50 turrets (from MP Models or DML)

Turret bustle extension for IDF M50 Sherman Tanks. Minor details make this a part for M50 Degem Beth, but it can be easily modified to make it Degem Alef or later batches part. It includes conical antenna base that is inside the bustle, for most earlier configurations, this should be trimmed off the little sprue and attached in the left antenna pot on the bustle.  Beside it, inside the bustle there is also a hook that catches loaders hatch that should be shaved off and placed on the top of the bustle near the right edge of opened loaders hatch. At the ends of grab rail there are little sprues that should be trimmed of.

Bustle side edges make it a drop fit to an MP Models M50 sherman turret after removal of original bustle that is shaped wrongly. For other makers turrets I suspect that the sides and top edge are about 1mm too long so should be trimmed off according to your references. The part also requires you to add weld marks of putty of your choice according to drawings or photos.

This set also includes original version of my M50 Sherman Mantlet, it is poseable, but it requires you to glue it at an angle of your choice and add to sculpt canvas cover. Fits MP models M50 sherman turret after minor trimming of the left side edge of the sealing strip, Tasca low bustle 75mm sherman turret without modifications (for easier fit trim off the MG bulge from the front of the turret). The part acommodates Barrel Depot M50 CN75 metal turned barrel (it was not tested with other M50 barrels i.e. DEF Model or DML).

These parts require you to add weld marks of putty of your choice according to drawings or photos.
They were modelled after the drawings from Lioness and Lion of the Line volume 2 book by Dr. Robert Manasherob.
