But ain't the figure supposed to be holding something in his hands?
Yes, you're right, this G.I. should hold his Garand rifle but it looked odd. It's not natural to repair an engine with gun in hand

Two points for your consideration if you do another Dodge.
A/ the engine color was a light grey not OD or green. This was a carry on from the civilian production of these Dodge motors.
B/ the handle grips, where the gunner held the weapon to fire it, of the 50cal MG were wood and should be painted as such.
On photos in my book about WC51 engine is painted OD but those are contemporary photos of restored one and owner might repaint it
Fortunately handle grips are easy to fix.

I want to run out and buy that kit right away
Do it now! It's one of the best kits I've ever built. Even without PE parts will look great, definitly worth buying.
