Does anyone make the MG mounts for the Syrian tanks
I know Dragon has the series out, but I built a Syrian Pz 4 a few years ago and all I need is the MG mount to finish it
I do have some late JSU 122/152 mounts, but don't know if all the mounts on the Pz 4 were the same or did all of the older tanks have the same mounts per vehicle

There was a resin / photo etch gun mount of the type your looking for released a few years ago , IRC it was a small eastern European company whose name I forget , I do recall that most folks thought the parts weren't that good . I've tried various combos of Syrian AA machine gun mount and found it , FC Model Trends from March 2016

Just noticed a color plate of a Syrian Pz IV with a T-34/85 style MG mount in a book called... Tank Battles of the Mid-East 1948 - 1973

FC Modeltrend still do theirs, in resin. I've just got one in anticipation of getting a new Zvezda T-34/85. It's very nice. They also do a Breda-SAFAT MG as used on some Syrian tanks. That seems to be 3D printed. They do a DShK but it's not as nice as some others.
