Hello folks here's my latest finished build, Tamiya's M51 Super Sherman in Chilean Army colors. Conversion to the last configuration in service using Greg Buechler resin and PE conversion, painting and weathering with K4 and Ammo of Mig products, with Bison Decals. Figures are converted Tamiya and stowage from Meng.

Hope you like it and constructive comments most welcome!!!!

Nice and dusty. I like it.

Thanks!

Awesome job. Love that exhaust !

Thanks!

A great looking M-51 Sherman.I wish I could find one of those conversion kits.

Nice work Klaus. You don't see many of these versions in model form so good to see another pop up here. Certainly captured the look of a well used vehicle and an excellent extra touch with the crew. Well done.

Jason - TBH, the conversion kit is pretty poor. I initially bought one but soon discared it and ended up scratchbuilding the parts required along with Voyager and ET PE sets along with a couple of Legend resin parts...

Thanks for your comments.

Gary: I actually took your build as a modelling reference, I'm sorry that your kit wasn't all that good. In my case, the conversion set for the M51 went together with no major issues, the fit was very good and the quality of parts very nice. But I can't say the same of the other conversion made by Greg Buechler for the M50 with IMI 60mm gun, and had a lot of problems both in fitting and quality, so I took them as reference to make everything from scratch, anyway the turned metal barrel is quite good, maybe the only part in the whole kit. I'm now through painting of it so shortly will be finished and posted here.

Cheers
