M50 Mantlet with canvas and Bustle (low bustle tur

Turret bustle extension for IDF M50 Sherman tanks using low bustle 75mm turret as a base. It includes conical antenna base that is inside the bustle, for most earlier configurations, this should be trimmed off the little sprue and attached in the left antenna pot on the bustle. Beside it, inside the bustle there is also a hook that catches loaders hatch that should be shaved off and placed on the top of the bustle near the right edge of opened loaders hatch. At the ends of grab rail there are little sprues that should be trimmed off.

Bustle left side edge is a little bit longer and could be trimmed off according to references and or fit to your cutdown turret. The part also requires you to add weld marks of putty of your choice according to drawings or photos.

Alternative version of my M50 Sherman Mantlet, instead of being poseable, it feautures canvas cover that would have to be added by sculpting otherwise. Fits MP models M50 sherman turret, Tasca low bustle 75mm sherman turret (for better fit trim off the MG bulge from the front of the turret). The part acommodates Barrel Depot M50 CN75 metal turned barrel (it was not tested with other M50 barrels i.e. DEF Model or DML).
