I've got the FOV version and it's a cool piece. Is that the FOV Hanomag in the top picture? That comes with some really well posed figures.
Re K&C version. The Bulge Mortar Half Track is a good looking piece. I don't have it, but it 'd be interesting to see how it looks with the FOV M3A1 with a bit of allowance for the size difference.

Okay, okay so it isn't King and Country but it's still pretty cool and if you’re not too much of a purist you might have some fun until Andy comes up with his own version.
Besides if Andy did everything you wanted, when you wanted, you wouldn’t have anything to look forward to. LOL
Heck there's a look you can do with a little imagination. See what a very close friend of mine did for with a $19.99 Century 21 Flak 88 gun. It looks pretty good with the KC Waffen SS gunnery crew don't they?

Hope you can see the pic's.

Trivia - since we were on US halftracks, the halftracks used a track that was like a big rubber band cast over steel cables, so the models are right as is.

Your comment is well noted. While some AFV had "rubberized" treads, I was refering more to tanks and SA. Still wouldn't be great to see a K&C tank with rotating wheels, working suspension, metal tracks and a clear vision of view between sets of treads and suspensions without resin or overcast in the way. I understand this would add to the cost of production and that is possibly why other manufacturers are using a combination of plastic and metal. But in the ideal world ....Michael

Eazy said:Hi Desk,
Thos pics look pretty good. Any chance of seeing them in a larger size with higher res?
