Interesting...
Even the Accurate Armor detail and update set for the Dragon kit doesn't seem to include a protruding coaxial MG like the photos.
What did you think of the kit? I've been thinking about picking it up lately.
As for the model, I like it. Hope mine would come out that nicely. If I had to find something I didn't like, I would say that maybe use a darker wash for at least the jerry cans, instead of the tan color. Sure they would be dusty, but they are also fairly likely to be used fairly often.

Nice build and painting ,BUT there are some small mistakes.
I will give my opp. and please take it as a constructive one and not other way.
There are some mistakes since you incorporated several things that are not been installed at the same time, so you are mixing brackets from different time periods. I will mention only few here
1. The box on the turret side, is wrong shape and size and really damages the model.
2. Your tanks engine deck represent late batch but the rear rack that you add is regular Sherman one that was not used on late ones,
3. The same for the .50 machine gun, most of the late ones had .30 machine gun on mount on commanders capula side. When .50 was used it was installed on top of the main gun, instead the large search light.
4. Spare track brackets are missing from the turret sides.
Hope its help.

anyway, it's very strange such a prominent thing has been omitted by both DML & ACA and accurate armor
Hey Terry, your build is great!I want to get both M-51's and some day start a M-50 Mk-I and a M-50 Mk-II. Again great work!

Although it may not be 100% correct replica I still like it. Good work mate!
