I made some progress with the stowage and I used various stowage painting techniques I have robbed from the threads here and from The Nightshift's "How To Paint Stowage" video." The stowage is a mix of some resin pieces, and items from Tamiya and Italeri. Next I will get the figures installed and get the Ma-Deuce machine gun painted for the turret top.

Thank you, Bert! Well, the M-50 is finished. I got all the stowage mounted and added the crew figures. I also added the M2 Browning to the turret top and installed the hatches, too. Antennae were made from metal wire and glued on to the spring mounts which had been drilled out. I did the periscopes and last and rounded her out with some touch-ups of Vallejo Matt Varnish. I also threw in a pic with the big brother, the M-51.

The figures bring it all to life and the side by side shot shows them both off so well.
