Grabbed these off evilbay......."cheap thrills" for the price. :tongue-out3: [ATTACH]461270[/ATTACH]

Nice grab Rick, and a good selection. That should keep you busy , even thinking about altering them !
Black plastic , will that be easier than the cast or will it be brittle ?

These vehicles look very detail. Are they American trucks?. BTW, what scale are they?

Knowing Rick they're probably
1: Bloody tiny, scale

1/87 all right, saw them but didn't bid as I have too many already. Glad you got them.

Meant to answer this yesterday!
You're not wrong Tim.... This certainly looks pretty well detailed to me
I've always had a soft spot for Italeri kits,(rather underated if you ask me),and this one looks to be right up there from just peeking in the box

Hi Rick just Used some of their masks for the first time on my mosquito and overall was impressed with the results, I’d only say my instructions could have been a little clearer

[Mickc1440]

This arrived in the post today. I saw a guy who’s you tube build I’ve been watching use it for reference and wow talk about a detailed book of pics

[The Smythe Meister]

Seen these in a few threads now and thought i`d give em a go:thumb2:,
I quite enjoy brush painting as opposed to ABing,so this "Blue Line" series might enable me to do larger areas than possible with other brands i have:thinking: .Will use one of my US planes as a Guinea Pig,so will see how it goes......... What could possibly go wrong?!!:tears-of-joy::tears-of-joy:.......

Actual color is a very dark OD green......box shadows make it look black. Roco plastic is soft and easy to work with , so no problem there and yes I have plans for 'most' of these little guys. I'm surprised at how nice their condition is, considering their age. One or two need minor repairs and there are a few little bits and bobs missing......but at less than $5.00 ea. I can't complain.

[Mini Me]

Thanks Paul, I sometimes feel the same way.........then I think, what the HEY! Can you really have too many??? :tongue-out2:

Glad you like them Hong, They are ROCO Minitanks.......made in Austria. They have been on the market since the early 1960's. The detail is very "crisp" for their size.....They are 1-87 scale and I have been collecting them since 1964. As a young Teen I had to have something to spend my hard earned Nickels on and these little guys were cheap at only $.29 to $.49 ea. with a few exceptions @ $.79 . The Co. has been sold out for some time now and Arsenal M is currently marketing these products but at greater and greater cost to the consumer. Thanks for your comment.
P.S. Yes they are American except for the two German halftracks. :thumb2:
