Nice see all those, good use of the spare Airfix Pz IV 75L24 barrels. I have quite a few Horch "heavy cars", very useful as light trucks.
ReplyDeleteMartin Rapier,
DeleteThe Airfix 75L24 barrels look so much more convincing than the ones that come on the ROCO model.
I hope to acquire some more Hoch cars in due course ... or some more Dodge WC-56 Command Cars, which make great substitutes.
All the best,
Bob
A fine collection, perhaps preparing for action?
ReplyDeleteMark Cordone,
DeleteCheers! Funnily enough, I have several ideas about fighting some battles with elements of this collection in the near future.
All the best,
Bob
Great collection of vehicles Bob - I've always liked the Kubelwagen; I had a Dinky toys one as a child; it towed a PAK gun, great toy!
ReplyDeleteMaudlin Jack Tar,
DeleteCheers! I almost bought a real VW Kubelwagen about thirty years ago, but was outbid! Mind you, it needed a lot of restoration ... but it would have been great to have owned one, even for a short time.
All the best,
Bob
BOB,
ReplyDeleteA nice collection of German vehicles and artillery- well done- certainly looking forward to seeing the various items in a battle or two. Cheers. KEV.
Kev Robertson (Kev),
DeleteCheers! Once I’ve sorted. The collection out - and possibly added a few more bits - I’ll have to sort everything into units I can use on my tabletop.
All the best,
Bob
