I dono if this will be good quality but I have a few from the Tamiya weapons set that you are welcome to have. I also have some drums, and a carrier for the drums if you are looking for those as well, and a few ammo cans. Let me know

SS-74--Who did you order them from, the site that I gave you or a different one? Just curious. Let me know how they are when you get them as I've never purchased any Collectors Brass items before.

SS-74,

For me, the best dismanteled MG-42 is the Jaguar resin set. If is cleanly cast and looks fantastic. As for the plastic variety, I will ahve to also vote for Mr. Tamiya-san's wonderfull stuff.

As for the Collector's Brass, they are great. I have some 30 cal's and 50 cals (w/ acc's), but have one gripe, they are 54 mm (aka 1/32). Just a bit over scale. Similar to some of the Verlinden stuff.

the best i have seen so far are from Dragon kits, they are the most detailed in styrene. much better than Tamiya's. Dragon's at least shows the cocking lever and has better scale bipods. Dragon has a Machinegun crew which is vastly superior to Tamiya's.

Mike it's very kind of you. I am afraid that I cannot indulge myself to trouble you this way, I will get one set here in HK. Nevertheless, Thank you again for your kind offer.
