I've seen their site before and they do have some nice items.. but I'm afraid they have a problem with their Arabic signs. Arabic letters are all written connected.. but their letters are separate.. and what's worse is that they are all backwards.. kind of like writing "HALT" as "TLAH".. it probably has to do with the software they're using to write left-to-right languages like Arabic.
I hope someone can let them know so they can try to fix that.
Thanks for the news

Correction... I meant to say "right-to-left" languages, which is how Arabic is written.
Sorry about that

No problem Hisham I knew what you meant, after all I was thinking perhaps it was a sign to view in a mirror and then the penny dropped and I thought why would you have a halt sign on a following vehicle.

It's not just vehicle signs.. I'm mainly talking about the building in the second pic with the yellow sign on top.. strangely enough on that same building and on the "ledge" below that yellow sign there is Arabic written in black.. and that writing is correct
Anyway, I guess no one knows Arabic.. and what you don't know won't hurt you

Its unfortunate how poorly those rifles came out. The G3 and MP5 look very much like copies of the Dragon ones; why couldn't they do the same for the rest? The Armalites in particular look like poorly executed toys...
