Nice work,and it makes them more realistic looking.I did that on one of my 1/12 scale models which was much easier that what you did as the gun was a lot bigger to work with.Great job............

How did you do it, man? Fiber optics and a micro LED in the M2's receiver?

Details, details...

All you need up there now is a figure firing the MG ala Audie Murphy; those guns were never remotely fired in that setup.
What about the coaxial MG (Browning .30 M1919) in the mantlet? You left that one out.

Very nice....I've been wanting this setup for my M-46 but not been able to do it. How did you get this effect?[X(]
Never seen a remote Cal 50 on a Pershing. TC must be inside with a wire??? [:-]
