I think it's interesting feature that the figure has a positionable arm due to a magnet being installed the arm/shoulder.

Now we just need a magnetic finger joint so we can make him stop pointing. :-)
I am rather keen on these 1/16 FT-17's, its a small enough vehicle to not be too huge on the shelf in that scale.

This looks like it has great detail and authenticity! It also appears to have various opening panels which would be great so you could pose this kit in many ways! I'd like to see this manufacturer do some kits in 1/24th and 1/18th so I could do dioramas with other subjects including some modern ones. I'd love to see an M-1 Abrams like this among other modern subjects - the list could go on and on!
