link SWS halftracks from the rear. These are the Roco 1/87 scale model that's about 50 years old. I have made a number of conversions and you can see some of them here. Mike Bunkermeister Creek

they look good. I agree with you about painted stuff; it gives more realism to a unit. I don't know about shields for the MG. Weren't they able to be used for AA which a shield would inhibit? |

In all of the versions I have seen the forward MG was mounted with a shield and was primarily used for anti-personal work. I have also seen an option to mount another MG at the rear of the half-track that was on what looks like it could be an anti-aircraft mount. |

Korsun0 the front was usually for anti-personnel and the rear MG was for AA use, but of course you shoot what you have on the targets you got. KarlBergman you are correct. Thanks for reading. Mike |

link The dollar stores provide seasonal buildings and over the last couple years I have picked up several that were from the spring and summer collection. This tiki bar is one of them and I got several. I am building the Kiss Kiss Club from the James Bond movie Thunderball and this will likely bet the entrance part of the club. Mike Bunkermeister Creek
