For gits and shiggles, I just checked evilBay for a sample of the asking price for a NIB Forces of Valor 1/16 Tiger: $790 That's asking--I didn't check on the "getting" price. I do recall well that years ago I winced at the FOV 1/16 Sherman price (although I am glad I got one). Even then, the Tiger was ridiculously expensive.

I seem to recall that my FoV Panther was at least $100 new. Wasn’t cheap at the time, in any event. Great model, though the crew were somewhat flimsy. They announced a Type 97 at one point, but I don’t think it was ever released.

Back on page 18 (middle of December), Herr Doc talked about the Tamiya 50 MG. I mentioned since the barrel was a separate piece, it looked good as a stored item. Here is the one on the back of my Jumbo (M4A3E2).

Nice touch

Ohh I agree. That's a different detail that's just not seen too often. I appreciate that for sure.

So that's how that works!

Mike.

I would say that nearly all AFVs equipped with the .50 MG had a similar storage point on the vehicle. When the vehicle was not in combat.

Final videos and a few pictures to close out this thread. Fun build and am really happy I made the deadline!

I'm really glad that you were able to make the deadline; considering that you've been "a day late and a dollar short" for most of your life. Must be my good influences rubbing off on you......finally.
