Hello You Guys,

Do you have two 1:76 Quad-50-caliber gun mounts which you like to get rid of? They were a part of an US Army half-track kit.

Garth,
I believe they were from the Matchbox

Hello All,

How are you? Well, the guy who said that he was going to send me two Matchbox Halftrack kits which had the quad-50 mounts never sent them. Would anyone here have two of those mounts that they'd want to get rid of?

I don't need the Halftracks, I just need the quad-50 mounts. If you do, please email me at [email protected].

Thank you,

Tim

Hello All,

I want to give a huge 2 thumbs up to MILICAST MODELS and Tom Welsh in particular. I need 2 quad-50 caliber gunmounts and only those, no Halftracks and no trailers ...

Today, Tom Welsh of MILICAST told me that they'd sell me the 2 gunmounts without the accompanying trailers ...

That's what I call pleasing the customer.

Tim

May I ask a question about the resin parts that I'm getting from MILICAST? They're resin - does that mean my builder will need to specially wash them or anything before gluing them to the plastic model or to paint them?

When it comes to resin Tim, it is always good to give them a quick bath in soapy water to make sure there is no dust and release agents still present. Most of that is for painting reasons though. They should be fine if they chose not to clean them too.
