I have my Long Tom in hand
It comes in the same size box as the V-2.
The tires are resin and do not roll, and the suspension is fixed. The barrel elevates and revolves, the breach opens and closes. The stablizers move in and out with a little up a down room if you want to place it on uneven ground. And it comes with a ammo pack of 8 shells. The weathering is subdued, and very effective.
The 4 figures are the show case of this set and the best from Figarti yet. The guy with the radio was a thin wire for the antena on his walkie talkie, perfect.
If your going for Long Tom , the add on set is a must.
Another outstanding release by Figarti, I will be buying all their 1:30 line.
Thank You, to all the Figarti Crew.
Great to hear that IXEC.
Pictures!! We need pictures!!
Sorry Nasirkasmani,
I'm not good at that, at all. Someone else will I hope.
And my camera wouldn't do this set Justice.
My Long Tom arrived today. The figures are excellent great paint and sculpting. I also bought the add on set. The gun however makes me think that some items are just better made in plastic. I realize that it's a display piece, but mine is in bad shape. I found a piece in the packaging and after about 20 minutes of trying to figure out where it belonged I found it. The handle on the gun breech I can fix this with some glue, but it gets better. The pin with the gear that elevates the gun - loose laying in the bottom of gun. After two hours of trying to put it back in I have come to the conclusion that it is impossible. So now the gun will not stay elevated. I have also noticed that the when looking straight at the barrel it looks like it's twisted to one side. Were the real guns designed like this ? I was so impressed with the V1 and V2 sets. This is major disappointment.
I heard - from a very reliable source - the Mk IV is leaving Shanghai this week on the slow boat from China so it is still several weeks away from being delivered to the collector. I don't know how I can stand it since it is my first Figarti and will prove to be the bellwether to my future Figarti purchases.
Twice? That's terrible. Did you get it back it yet?
they're lying inside my storage. i haven't properly recovered from the disappointments to attempt another fix. Having another diversion, like Figarti's v1/v2 series helps though.
