It’s always good to see an M50. I’ve built the Tamiya M1 and the DML M51 but for whatever reason, their M50 seems harder to find. Will this be an Israeli or Lebanese militia vehicle?

Hi James,
I got this one years ago, after doing the Tamyia’s M1 and M51 this one was next.
This Cyberhobby series, it one has one option for markings, I will do the Israeli version.
The kit shows it’s age, a little crude on some parts, specially the suspension and also some hull options, Tamyia’s IDF Shermans are miles ahead, but unfortunately I think Dragon is the only option for the M50.
Looking good.
I picked up the Academy version at a show for a song. It came with a bunch of resin, PE, and Verlinden dry transfers and other decals in the box. I will probably never get to it and am thinking about selling it off. We shall see.

Track guard support brackets are soo fun. I’m building Tamiya’s M51. Tiny dimples in the track guard and nothing on the hull to show where the other end goes. @#$$#!

You’re right… it took me hours to get those brackets.
But the worst thing are those guide horns on the tracks, cutting & cleaning one by one… that’s a nightmare.
That’s looking really nice keep it up.
Cheers,
Ralph
