The Shed: A ROCO and Roskopf bonanza!

Last night I began selecting the next couple of crates that I wanted to sort out ... and had quite a shock when I opened the first.

The crate was full of plastic bags that were covered in a very thick layer of dirt. In fact they were so dirty that I could not see what was inside the bags, and the labels had faded so much that they were unreadable. With some trepidation I tore the first bag open ... and found four ROCO Pzkpfw VI Tiger Is inside! The next bag contained two ROCO Pzkpfw VI Tiger IIs, a ROCO Jagdtiger, and three ROCO JS-IIIs.

By the time I had finished opening all the bags I had rediscovered the following model vehicles:

• 1 x Pzkpfw III
• 1 x Pzkpfw IV
• 1 x Pzkpfw IV (AA)

I also found some other useful model vehicles in the crate. These included:

• 8 x SIKU Bulldozers (If the cab and dozer blade are removed, this looks very like a Russian heavy artillery tractor)
• 2 x Vikiing Hoch Limousines (Ideal for senior officers' staff cars!)
• 3 x Viking Citroen Saloon Cars (Also suitable for use staff cars)
• 2 x Viking VW Beetles
