The resulting M51 featured a distinctive long barrel with a large muzzle brake, a counterweighted turret, improved diesel powerplant, and HVSS suspension paired with wide T80 tracks for better mobility on rough terrain.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis 1\/35 scale model kit captures the unmistakable silhouette of the M51 with accuracy based on extensive study of preserved museum vehicles. Its cast turret texture, refined hull lines, and detailed running gear create a highly authentic representation of one of the IDF’s most iconic upgraded Shermans. Belt-type tracks emulate the T80 pattern, and accessories such as jerry cans and tools provide added realism.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nTwo crew torso figures and a choice of three marking options allow you to personalize your build, whether you prefer a Six-Day War vehicle or later service examples. For builders who enjoy historical upgrades and unique tank configurations, the M51 is an engaging and rewarding project.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50348986859767,"sku":"MH_TAM35323_HH","price":74.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/3324\/8759\/files\/9a900e70a3f09ae0c1e952dfa9c9e5a3.jpg?v=1765498026","url":"https:\/\/checkout.miniaturehobbies.com\/products\/israeli-tank-m51","provider":"Miniature Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
