I think maybe ESCI made a version as well?

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

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.

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.

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.

Post by: raafif on October 03, 2022, 06:57:23 AM: 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.
