Beautiful work, Adam. Love those brackets!! The whole tank just hangs together so nicely. Keep it up.

Got it. The m50 had the French version of the 75mm Panther gun correct? What I like about all these unique tanks is the history associated with the model

Exactly - they modified a lot of Sherman's before switching to centurions.
