    Customer Feedback:

    I am new to modeling with PE.  Coincidentally, I had received a Metal Earth Tiger tank metallic model from my wife, Christmas 2016.  Over the past couple of evenings, I have been using my 5 speed hold and fold to complete the model.  I am very impressed with its metallic, quality construction and without it, my little Tiger model would have been a mess.
    I recommend your company and products without reservation to all my friends.
    Thank you very much!
    Dennis M
