                        Ok so I'm fustrated. Looked high and low but it is as if it had vanished. I'm looking for DML/Dragons M46. Does anyone know where one is hiding? I have a barrel, photo etch, and resin dust cover. I have the organs, now I need the tranplant patient. Please help. Thanks ahead of time.

                        I have to ask ( I have the kit)- where did you get the dust cover and who makes it??

                        Here you go. Has a "buy it now" feature to avoid bidding!

                        It seems to go in and out of production. I picked mine up at Greatmodels maybe a year ago for around $25. It is no longer even on their site

                        Actually no. Our local hobby shop has them at 12 US Dollars a piece.

                        But of course if anyone of you need this kit so badly maybe I can help you out. E-mail me and let me see what I can do.

                        Dust cover? You mean the tarp like material covering the gap between the mantlet and the turret?

                        I am sorry but unless the kit came with a plastic replica of it, IMHO the best solution is to do it with the "toilet paper" approach. LOL.

                        I'm back with some information on the dust covers. Remember the M46 is a rebuilt M26. Shop where you want but at DISCOUNTMODELS.COM I found that Tank workshop has a M26 pershing mantlet with dust cover TWS 0096 for $4.00, Pershing 90mm canvas cover muzzle break TWS 0092 for $3.00, and
                        Trakz Armor products M26 pershing Mantlet Covers (2 different) TRK 0022 for $11.96. Thanks on the lead on the M46.

                        Twelve dollors, Dwight? Yeesh, why is Dragon so expensive here in Japan? That kit's about thirty dollars here! And there are plenty of them on the shelves, too.
