Looks great so far. Question, I do like the bare manlet, by chance is there a manlet cover included in the kit?

Thanks, Greg. What is "manlet" ?

after filters, satin varnish and wash

The mantlet is the moveable part which "connects" the gun to the turret. On the T-54/55 there usually is a canvas cover. Your model shows the full metal part.
Nice start for the weathering

As Olivier said. It's usually a material made of canvas.

This is a build OOTB for Miniart's web page so he can't modify the kit.

Not asking about modifying, just whether its included as an option.

Excellent work. Very nicely done and you can tell Miniart that I am going to buy one specifically because you did this build up on here.

Greg, the cover is not included, as is an early type of turret.
The set has a clamp for mounting
