Cool. Wish they would do more large scale U.S./Allied figures. I think
there's a market for them.

My preference would be for a 222 anyway. I like the 20mm cannon mounted
in the turret; gives the car some much needed balance and "muscle" wrt
looks. The 223 looks off balance to me with that rinky dink mg.

This series kinda boggles my mind. Is there a big market for pre-built
and finished plastic models? Most pre-built and finished models I know
of that collectors go after are diecast metal because of the fidelity of
the detail.
