I never noticed that there are upper hull differences differences in the Dragon M4A4 kits.
I’m sure the Sherman fans have always known this. Even the glacis is at a slightly steeper angle.
I started on the second version simply because with a lack of measurements of any kind, I need to know how far out to extend the hull sides with the HVSS track installed. It seems the IDF knew they would eventually make this upgrade and planned for it ahead of time.
The Cummins engined M50 retained the higher deck to accommodate the engine. No need to lop the top off of this one, although all of the detail has to go. I’ve filled in the divot underneath the bow MG opening with my favorite filler for large jobs - CA, hit with accelerator. Took all of ten seconds.
