Default M50 ontos

Does anyone know of a manufacturer that produces an M50 ONTOS. I have a Marine friend who is pretty ill and served on one during his tour in Viet Nam. Scale does not matter, just looking for a plastic kit so I can build it for him. Thanks for the help.

Wow, didn't know academy did a more accurate version. The Renwall kit is accurate, but not 1/35, which is the standard scale for armor. Although 1/48 seems to be growing. Cool thing to do for your friend!!! Voyager makes nice detail sets. I have some of their 1/16 scale sets for my Tiger II.

Thanks, I hope it all goes together well. He's pretty sick, he is having a mass removed from his lung tomorrow.

I have an RC 1/16 one on hold right now. I have some other projects to finish first.

Yes, take a look at my 2nd post, there is a photo of the detail kit I bought for it. Everything in brass comes with the kit including barrels.
