New purchases!
Re: New purchases!
Nice looking models.
I reckon the military ones must be among the least desirable.
Never coveted them when I was a kid and not now. Must have about seven mint boxed and thinking of culling them from my collection. The khaki casts a gloom over a 1-75 spread, especially as they're nearly all in the 65 - 75 number range.
Don't mind the half track or the RAF tanker.
My opinion - and yours are nice additions.

Re: New purchases!
Two very clean examples you have secured for yourself, prices not too bad either. Is the little mark on the front wheel near the axle-end of #71, just some Silver paint from a sloppy operator or something that has decided to sit there just before you took the picture...

Re: New purchases!
These days it seems you'll often see empty boxes go for what you've paid here for nice clean boxed models. Well done!

It looks like sloppy trim work to me. Upon buying it I was worried that the model had been touched up but the headlights look original so I think it was just a shoddy job.GHOSTHUNTER wrote:Two very clean examples you have secured for yourself, prices not too bad either.
