Beautiful, like looking at the 1:1 scale item.

I was going to say it’s like you could get behind it, pull back the charging handle and fire it, if you didn’t know it was 1/35 scale. $16.95 isn’t cheap, but it’s worth it from the looks of it. I’ve never heard of this particular manufacturer. But it looks great!

Everything I have bought from Peter is second to none. I mean that. The tiny detail, as long as you have the right tools, is easy to put on. Peter never ceases to amaze me and Im glad to call him a friend, too, as we have worked up a nice dialogue on internet. You should give in to your inner hoarder and get a number of his products for use in later builds. Ive got scads myself and just got an order in earlier this week. FANTASTIC!

Exceptional! Definitely that extra bit of detail necessary to make the kit shine!

It's a beautifully cast kit.

I've been looking for a disassembled M2. If this includes separate bolt group and barrel extension group I'm in.

I guess the pricetag is as high as a real .50 cal?

I'm not concerned about the cost so much. I could certainly do a credible job of scratch building the guts of the gun, but these days my time is more valuable to me than money.
