discussion Pete's M50/51 Toon build in honour of "Mr T" GB.

[Guest]

Hi, as we know Simon was quite well know for not finishing some of his projects. One he did not manage to finish was his entry into the Toon GB I run last year, a M51, which he sadly never built.
I would like to build it in his honour and yes there will be pewter.

This is his blog of his build .

Normally this conversion is made using 1:48 parts I thick this is the first attempt to do it in 1:35 scale

Parts.

Main tank part.

Replacement turret.

Extras.

Replacement suspension.


Upgrade tracks from kit to 1:35.

Thank you for looking in.
Pete.
