A BAR with a carrying handle? Oh, that did exist but it seems it’s out of place for almost (see that link) any Second World War weapon. I also have my doubts about the flash hider on the M3 submachine gun. Korea, yes. Second World War? Probably not.

And what is that small pistol? I’d almost say a TT, but it’s not, and in any case that would be … unlikely in a US equipment set

[Dave Ward]

Jakko,
the small pistol looks like the Colt Model 1903 Pocket, which was issued to general officers. The M3 smg could be fitted with a flash hider, but not seen very often ( remove with scalpel )

Small Pistol , colt m1903 , issued to officers , easily concealed.
Flash hiders made and issued in ww2 ( m9 flash hider for m3 grease gun )

[Guest]

I know a flash hider could be fitted to it, I’m just not sure it saw much use in that war Didn’t recognize the pistol, and it does seem a bit niche for a set like this. But OTOH, where else would you find one for your figure of a four-star general?

Argh, it’s the upper rear turret side, not the hull side I took it for :sleeping:

Game , set and match, Lol :smiling5: :smiling5:

It's not THAT exciting, as Zvezda do say that it is 'based on the Dragon model' At least they're up front about it!
Dave

Lol, The Meng version is a superb kit, but a bit over complicated ion places, Suppose it will depend how much is based on the dragon kit, which if i remember correctly wasnt that accurate. Box art, although action packed is a bit strange, firing those mighty canons with your own aircraft in the sky could be a bit risky and where are all those shells flying in the air coming from. The spent shells (cartridges) are expelled down and sideways from the canon ejectors. Youtube clip

I think they've just found out their jeep doesn't have any cupholders.

The officer didn't know who won the last World Series and the MP sarge, be'in a car guy, noticed the Bantom w/o registration #s didn't quite belong. PaulE
