1:35 M4 Sherman late turret mantlet with the 75 mm M3 gun is a turned barrel with a wide turret shield for the 1:35 model of the American M4 medium tank from PANZER ART. An accessory to a kit, not a model.
Responsibility details are not available.
The set replaces the turret shield in its late, wide form and the 75 mm M3 gun barrel on a kit of the American M4 medium tank. The turned barrel has a straight axis, a round section and an open muzzle, so there is no parting line to sand. This is not a tank kit, the model is obtained on its own.
Most M4 tanks were armed with the 75 mm M3 gun. During production, however, the turret shield changed: the narrow early mantlet was replaced by a wider form that covered the weapon opening better and came with a mounting for a telescopic sight. The difference between the early and the late mantlet is one of the first details used to judge whether a model matches a particular production batch and period of service.
Cut the original plastic mantlet away and level the mating surface so that the new shield sits without a gap. Wash the resin in warm water with dish soap, degrease the metal and glue it with super glue. After priming, apply the even hull shade; it pays to pick the wide mantlet out with a fine dry brush, because its shape lives off sharp edges. Leave the muzzle a matte dark tone and dust the lower part of the shield with pigments.
The accessory is supplied unpainted and without the base kit. Glue, paints and the model are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
