The parts look really nice and crisp.

I'm sorry, I just realized it says D-Corp... is that a totally different company?

Can somebody tell me, whe they've used Tamiya's TOW system parts for making one of two biggest pieces of this set (second picture)??? There is for example MSG box in the exposed corner of this piece...

Thank you for taking the time to post this. It's always nice to see what new products are available to us.

However, this set is not something I would purchase. The stowage is unlike anything I've used or even seen Big Army units use. The packs, bags, whatever they are, would be better found in Legend's last release. Every door kicker has some sort of "go bag" in the vehicle, and those ain't it.
The tarp with the bottles spilling out - not sure what that's about either.
Finally, the water cans should have rounded handles. The are several others out there, even in plastic, that have a better profile.

You're quite right, the parts are all nicely done, just not of stuff you'd see, or not accurately done.

Now, someone come out with a bottle jack, hooly (sp?) tools, a few rolls of det cord, M84 flash bangs, a few thermobarics, and a Karl Gustav, (with extra rounds) and I'll be the first to buy it. Oh, and lawn chairs if you're gonna do an SF gun truck,

and a Karl Gustav,


Maybe you can write this one off the list :

AFAIK, there's one included in Trumpeter's JGSDF Type 89 IFV kit as well...

That is a shame that the stowage is inaccurate as D-Toys' items are very nicely cast. Plus that may be the first 35th scale stuffed pig ever made. Perhaps Legend will also release a set

The obvious question now is (since we carried one) does anyone have one to trade?

Thats a strange stowage set, wonder where they got there references from.

@Rob What are hooly tools and have you got any photos of them? They could be a pretty unique addition to my build, along with the det cord and Karl Gustavs.

Oh and I have one of the firing line Karl Gustavs to trade if you want, or if you want to order them yourself, I ordered them from here:

hope this helps. Thanks for the link, Hisham!

Here are a few examples:

http://www.dtomtac.com/Entry-Tools/

We rarely carried all of them, but rather divided them up between team members.
I guess the term "Hoolie Tool" comes from Hallagen. It somehow evolved into "hooligan" tools, or hoolie tools.

We also had quickie saws mounted on an ALICE frame. That'd be cool too...

I'll PM you about the Karl Gustav.

You guys know how to live... Agreed on all accounts. From the big Army perspective, we always had bug out bags and or an assault pack at the least. I'd like to see a Javelin, and soem SMAW-D's as well. Then again I'm still waiting on a proper M249 with collapsible stock and para barrel and RIS with the updated feed tray cover.

The half covered tarp thing just looks odds as well. It looks very nicely cast, but it's just not realistic. Also, one of those bottles looks more like a wine bottle than any other plastic water bottle I ever used. A nice DAGR and PLGR would be a good addition as well.

Interesting, those are closer, still don't have the correct collapsible stock but it's a start. The ones in that picture are the FN Para stocks, the current ones are almost like an M4 collapsible stock with 4 positions as I recall. The Para stocks are either open or closed. Interesting set though, EoTech's, ACOG's, one even has the Knights RIS rail system instead of the regular standard issue rail system. I might have to pick one of these sets up. Thanks for the heads up.

As for the Javelin, at least a CLU would be great, we used them for overwatch fairly often untill we got our FLIR 2000's.

A Javelin is coming. Promise.

This was my secondary rig, after a particularly nasty experience taking down a house:

My 240 was appropriated one day so I mounted my 249 for the joint ANP range. Most of the time I used it for dismounted ops as opposed for mounted like this.

You can see more pics of it used with the kit here. Too bad it's not accurate, because it really looks nice... to the non-expert eyes


Scroll down and you'll find several pics of the set

@Tac Squirrel.. I haven't purchased the 249 yet but I was impressed with Live Resin's 240B. Might be something worth looking into.

That D-Corp set makes absolutely no sense as 18Bravo stated. The water cans, while nicely detailed, are very bad representations.

live resin is the way to go for modern weapons, especially the M249 with the m4 stock.

can't wait for the javelin!
