Nice looking model, but after 100 rounds out each gun, you will no longer see the target.[&:] Those rags around the barrels will catch fire, obscure vision and mark your location. Rags on the barrels have no purpose other than to start a fire. [:@]
I used 21 Century figures in mine, had to chop one up to get him into the gunners seat..but those figures look great.
Bill,
And that is just what 9 year old nephew Stewart told me too, no rages on his MG barrels, looks dumb, he told me.No fear, that is the first modification little Stewart made to his new M16, took off the MG rags!
But I told him in all the
WWII John Wayne war movies, they always showed the Allied MG barrels wrapped in rags, so, you could cool them down after blasting at Stuka's, FW-190's & Me-109's, by urinating on the rags to cool down the barrels.
His mom over heard me tell him that and she made us put the half track away and I had to put the Sherman in the trunk and later she sent me home. Soended that rc tank birthday play day. LOL.
Really crappy sister, you know, but I guess a good mom.

PS The stock M16 (carefully removed the mud flaps) ran pretty good in short cut grass, garden dirt and the driveway, but the signal range is limited.
