There are many firms that make the 50 cal Hvy MG and frets for them in the correct size, but do not know if you want to go down that road. .

Happy modeler Posts: 2,237 Group: Members Member #330 Joined: February 5, 2011	Yep I beleave the top two are ok, but your right on the HB one its way out. I have a few in me spares box and have only made three with etchings on two and a full brass barrel etc on the other. Being that I have not done many US Armoured vehicles so far, only light trucks and the M3 Lee and Grant with no AA gun fitted, plus the M3/5 series of light tanks for varies nations, thease only carried the 30 cal. The latest with a 50 cal was an M2 White scout car. Hope you get sorted. Edited by foxy, Apr 14 2011, 10:21 AM.

I'm not a rivet counter but just the picture on the box brings up issues (jackal and clansman kit together although they are from different periods) I'm loving the build and the paint job, having used the slightly upgraded EWMIK version of this in Afghanistan last year I have only a few slight points as to the painting, the wing mirrors (if they are even still fitted) are a black matt plastic and are not painted, the same with the fuel cap which if it is painted then its bright yellow to indicate diesel, the metal boards on the side of the vehicle however are painted. a couple of reference pics for you from my last tour. keep up the good work!
