Chile bought over 190 M51 Shermans from the Israelis in the 1970's. This model represents one of those converted using a 60mm super high velocity Italian gun. The Chileans also used this gun in some M-24 Chaffe conversions.
The kit is the Tamiya Israeli M51 Sherman while the gun is a 3-D printed piece that Chan ordered from Australia (and isn't sure he likes.)
The model was painted with colors from the Mig Israeli paint set and weathered with Mig and AK pigments. The figures are from the kit.
Chile used these tanks well into the 1980's.
