i went down last month to my favorite hobby shop in SLC and grabbed the Italeri LCM 3. when i got it home and i was looking at the photos on the side, i could clearly see that the.50 cal. m.g. was not the one provided in the kit. now i'm not even irked about it, but you'd think the boys at italeri would be,considering that their product was put together with only 99% of the original parts.
