Well finally, an apparently accurate M-4 pedestal mount for the M151-series 1/4 ton truck! Not wild about the twin M-60s on top, but I can work with it!

It’s really nice to see some detail sets and details for other than German WWII stuff once in a while. Those handles and lifting rings for the M41/7-M60 series will really come in handy, as well as some of the other details. Even Quackers! Now if only I can find a vendor for FC Model Trend. I’ll need to do some research.

Order direct from FC. Quite easy, shipping is reasonable, and usually only takes 2 weeks. I've ordered from FC 3 or 4 times, iust received an order from them last month.

Fabulous offerings as usual. Detail and subject like this seems to be par for the course when it comes to this company.

Can you comment on the quality? All they ever seem to show are CAD images and while I've read some people like his offerings others say the quality just isn't there.

Thanks

For all the detail in the CAD drawings the bipod braces are missing the lightening holes. And the slots in the flash hider are too narrow. That said, anyone expecting the bore in the flash hider with actual slots that meet the bore will probably be disappointed.]

Come to think of it, upon closer inspection, even the CAD image is disappointing, lots of detail missing.
