Hey lads
Here is a pic of M4A1(76) preparing for Operation Cobra... It is one of the variations that can be built in the new Dragon kit... One thing of note is that the serial number given on the decals is a '0' short to the real thing... Some oversight...

Hope this can be of help for a new build...
Cheers

P.S. does anyone make a PE set that includes those sunglasses!?!

Also, does anyone know what exactly it is that is tied around the outside of the jerrycan on the right rear?

Bradley

If you are talking about the pice of metal connected to both sides (rear) of track holders,it's probably something to hold the jerry can in place

Bradley,

At least one of the Dragon figures sets included a PE pair of glasses (Can't remember which one - think it was a German set). All you'd have to do is get some Micro Krystal Klear and fill in the lenses.

Anybody know what weapon the G.I. on the far right with legs crossed is holding? Doesn't look like a Garand or '03 to me.

Also notice the air I.D. panel draped over the gear on the rear of the hull.

Hey Barry, Roy here:
My guess is that it's a Springfield w/o front site. The parellel item is something in the background, IMHO.

I think it's a Springfield due to the strap locations. See the unused one near the barrel? And then the one where the strap is actually attached near the left hand? If that's the orientation of the rifle, then my thinking is that the vertical object near the barrel is indeed a background object.

It's only a guess.
