In Sheridan's design, several gun posibilities were evaluated:
M41 90 mm (the gun of M-48) with light tube
Low pressure 90 mm
Low pressure 105 mm
Low pressure 152 mm (definitive)

But 152 mm had a very heavy recoil that did damage systems and crew when fired.

So, I propose the 90 mm low pressure gun as in Vietnam the probability to engage a tank: T-34, T-54/55, etc... was very low.

IIRC the 90 mm low pressure tube was able to fire HEAD rounds anyway.

Very cool ! One way to get the "shine" down on armor is to use powdered rosin or talc powder...rosin is nice, because it is brown/black anyway...you have to colour the talc. Of course, your model is of a production vehicle, and hasn't seen much wear and tear yet.

All it needs is a decent muzzle brake to finish it off.

Not being real armor savvy, I like seeing the pre-painted version so I can tell what modificationss you made. I think it looks great.

Yes it is sligtly wearthered, but it is not evident in pics. I did it in final varnishing, by adding some tears of grey paint to the varnish.
