MATO M4A1 upper to HL Lower

Hi guys,

I really like the look of the cast hull and the T-23 (76) turret.

How difficult is it to fit the MATO upper to the HL lower?

TIA,
Barry

Hi Barry, the mato upper is a pretty good fit, I've used one on a tamiya lower to make an M51 and also on an h/l lower to make an m4a1 North African British Sherman . There will be a little bit of work involved but nothing to drastic that a competent modeller couldn't handle :D :thumbup:

Cheers, Lee.

As standard the mato uppers are very smooth Barry so I use Mr.surfacer 500 to give it some cast texture, works pretty well :thumbup:

Cheers, Lee.
