Like what this Tank Commander is hanging out in.




I think maybe ESCI made a version as well?

I might have one. Let me dig around. I’m in Chicago USA territory.

I happen to have 3 x DEF Model resin Urdan cupolas .... but I live in the Wide Brown (& currently bloody wet & cold) Great Southern Land.

Still, I may be able to spare one. ;)

Thanks, Gentlemen.

This is to complete a retro mostly-TAMIYA M48A5 package for a buddy who TC'd them ages ago so save the good stuff for more deserving projects.

That's the one I have three of. ;)

If you don't mind waiting for something to come from Oz, I can get one to you. ???

Dude, that'll cost thousands of lives and millions of dollars. There's got to be a piece of scrap around here somewhere, right under my nose.

Well, when you get desperate enough, let me know. ;) :smiley:

The resin kit I've used for illustrative purposes, but I still think anything other than the ESCI/ERTL/TAMIYA parts would be "lipstick on a pig"

Also, you have mail.

actually I did find that the Esci item (with a little modification) does represent an actual version - these cupolas were made more than one factory.

You just need to round off the lower edge of the cupola (above the flat base) with a file.
