Those two kits were primarily post-war 90mm versions.

AFAIK, the M51 Skysweeper is a 75 mm gun.

Jerry,

Commander Models do one - or did; I can't seem to access their site for the moment but here's a review from around 2012:

Brian

Thanks to all who responded . And so briskly as well ! I appreciate the help. So the general consensus seems to be I am SOL on this one. Ah well,it was worth a shot. But yes,maybe instead of doing the dozenth new Tiger release Dragon could release one ?
I am fully aware of the need to sell things folks want to buy but this may be worth them looking in to ?

Dragon??!!?? You have got to be kidding!
They would probably assign it to the Black Death crew and we would end up with something less buildable and a lot less correct than that Commanders model.

With some luck Trumpeter/HobbyBoss or Bronco might decide to do one of these.

I think/believe that the molding quality at Commanders has improved a bit but I could be wrong. Their website is back in service again: http://ironshipwrights.com/armor/90mm.html

On the contrary, my recollection of the various Black Label kit reviews was that they were well engineered and assembled nicely. They may deviate wildly from the shape of the tank they claim to represent, but they fit well . . .

Look at the this photo of one of the parts trees:



and notice the tip of the first outrigger leg. The kits I saw had defects like that in multiple places. This is what you need to look for in checking resin kits. I can understand and deal with a few small bubbles but this is unusable. There are plenty of companies producing resin parts and assemblies with excellent molding quality so one can't just dismiss this as "That's what you get with resin."

(I don't know what to think of them choosing this image to make you want to buy their product. Was this the best of the batch? It would also help sell the product if they showed a built kit, not the master pieces put together.)

Thanks for posting buddy !
I could fix that no problem so that wouldn't be an issue. The thing is the gun would only be a part of a dio and so I am not willing to invest the time and money to build this kit. I was hoping for an easy and less expensive solution. If this gun was one I just had to build then sure,I would buy this.
Hope I am making sense ?

Handing over 80 bucks + shipping to buy extra work in restoring defective parts is a bitter pill to swallow.
