If you read the above as I do then you won't have to take his arms off - you can put him in his seat from the inside like the Tiger driver.
If the description just means you can stuff the figures in open hatches then that's a pretty odd thing to brag about.....and it's self-evident from the stock photo....

I wouldn't put stock into an interior. How many WWII vehicles have one? 1. I'm not going to keep my hopes up.

Now a guarrenteed interior would be a 1:18 M-18 Hellcat. That would look awesome! I know we talked about this subject years ago, but with new stuff coming out, you never know...........

i will bet dollars to donuts that the Panzer IV has both an interior and an engine. All armour released since the Tiger has; that's the tiger, the bulldog, the m2 bradley and m113. The interior may not be very accurate and it will be basic but it will be there, i know it.

Besides, considering they're costing $20 more than BBI's armour (Sherman) they better have more to offer and the only thing they can offer is an interior.

Trust Andrew. :lol:

Yes, I love it when the piece includes an interior and some engine detail. Overall, I'm just jazzed to get more armor - I love aircraft; always have - but armor is just more fun to "play" with and also takes up less shelf space.

Post by Normandy:

"Looks like the Panzer IV H has the divisional insignia of the Panzer-Lehr-Division. If you look at the pic sent to BadCat you can see a white L in script, its between mg and drivers positions. Its no big thing, but someone at 21st did homework. Heres a link about the division :

Has anyone ever cut diecast ? and just what is it made from? I can't wait to get my hands on a few of these bad ass tanks.
Nice work 21st and Thanks for listening."

It's made of white metal, which is a soft metal but still a lot harder to work with than plastic

21st, with their new vehicles (both aircraft and armor) seems to consistently be doing thier "homework" more often! I love being able to look about at the planes in my room and note which squadron they were in and which pilots flew them! While the markings haven't always been as accurate on the armor, the pieces themselves have been nearly spot on!
