We'll start this week with a great buy on a Corgi 1:50 scale
M16 Quad .50 Half-Track 1/50 Die Cast Model, France, 1944 that includes three GI's. It's just $19.95 at Military Issue.
When mounted like this in a group of four, machine guns were highly effective in both the anti-aircraft and anti-personnel roles. This limited edition, 1/50 scale die cast model of a Quad-50 Half-Track that served in Operation Dragoon - the Allied invasion of southern France in August, 1944 - features textured surfaces; factory-applied plastic detail parts such as supplies, tools and weapons; rolling wheels and tracks; a weathered U.S. Army camouflage scheme; three hand-painted pewter infantry figures; and more. 5" long.
