Wow,James. You wouldn't happen to be a modeler would you?

Nice score.

 

[Barney]

Ohhhh a Ju-88... nice... did I mention I have a Ju-88A4, Ju-88P by Dragon and the HC Ju-88 available?

 

[jknaus]

lol, never been accused of that before. Collector
Would love to Barney, but hand eye coordination isnt what it used to be so I moved up to bigger scales. This one is for my Mistel conversion. And I have one for my A4 conversion and one for my vanilla A1. Probably never do them with my current record.

Took a trip to Aalst today and stopped at the modelstore, found some passengers for my Mercedes L4500

Here some pics of how they look (just had to start to see if they fit )

Need to dig thrue the spare parts for helmets and guns.

Also found these Gen2 russian soldiers to go with the KV2 i've started to build.

The box with the halftrack riders say 10 figures but there are 12 in the box so i will have a full truck ) thought i had to buy 2 sets to fill it up.
Happy easter!!

Wow, I missed that Russian set!

It could be that Dragon is referring to 10 unique figures, you can make 12 but two will be repeated... please check as I WANT to be wrong so I can add that figure set to my wish list!

Regards and Happy Easter,

 

[AndyFettes]

Excellent stuff the figures that repeat can be very easily adapted to make unique ones sometimes its as easy as cutting off the boot and re angling

TASCA Jumbo

joey,

Any plans for the Jumbo?

I thought about getting one for the Free French which is the only army I am aware of which used the M4A3E2:

Saul, there is 2 identical sprues with 6 figures each and a small sprue with 4 extra arms (2 left and 2 right) and the arms are very easy to switch between the different figures for making different poses.
There is one driver but i think there is no biggie to change he's arms so he look like he's reading a newspaper or something.
To bad there is not more than 4 helmets included and the same with the mausers, wish i had more Gen2 equipment laying around........

[Sharkmouth]

Thanks Mats,

As for the Gen2 items, you may want to consider detailing them and casting a few for yourself... this crossed my mind a few times.

Hi saul ,

Hope you are doing well !!! Getting ready to head off for work here but the US army did use them .

Check out the following excerpt fron Steve Zaloga's book on the Sherman Armored Thunderbolt !!!

Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more. :laugh:

The label says reel assembly for M29 Weasel and more... but it is the S-65 engine. It even includes the wiring, decals, and instructions on CD.
