Chris and Aaron: Thanks for looking. I'm still playing around with the lighting for when I shoot in macro. Sometimes I need the flash on the camera and sometimes the pictures come out OK without it. I try to not use it as it dulls the colors somewhat. The poor M20 seems to be the red headed stepchild of the model world. Seems the troops weren't too keen on it either.
Bob: The .50 is from Tasca. Really nice and with some careful cleanup you have a hollowed out cooling jacket. The small pe chains were in the Aber set for the M20. The tire black paint is my own mix. I mix by eye and usually start with ModelMasters Acrylic or Tamiya brands. For MM I use their Panzer Gray as a base and add in black. For Tamiya I start with their Nato black and add in just a little more black.
