First Minitank model I bought at age 14 was the Z-116 REO dump truck.........still have it in the stash.

These ROCOs must have been from an early 60s run Rick as the plastic is super brittle.
 
Another ebay capture.................

I had been watching this last week - the starting price was too high in my eyes & there were no bids & it closed. As I hoped, the seller relisted - this time taking offers! Knocked a few quid off as a cheeky offer & it was accepted :thumb2:

The charity shops round your way are amazing pete! Up here ive only ever seen one kit and that wasnt worth having!
Same here. Although I did see two kits a few months ago. Rubbish and overpriced. Nothing like some of the bargains people on here find :rolling:
 
Been wanting one of these for ages but couldnt find any in the uk that were reasonably priced - all the ones in china were ok but months for delivery. Went to Newark today for a bit of a mooch round the shops and remembered there is a model shop there. Went in and Bingo! There it was for a very reasonable £32 . The spotty desert camo really looks good on the 109 and it looks a lovely kit , just not sure about those rubber tyres again though . I’ll be picking steves ( stona) brains in due course for correct cockpit colours etc , no doubt trumpeter have made a few boo boos !601AD2B6-8C9F-409A-BE6F-103213E66D79.jpeg3D503265-5F06-489D-8D74-4F75EE7049D2.jpeg
 
I had plans to do a scratch built M23 ammo trailer, but got this as soon as it appeared on evilbey. An excellent example of how well printed models can be done. A bit pricey at $25 as it is one piece plus tilt. I would have preferred it to have the front limber & tires and the rear walking beam & tires separate items for posing purposes, but beggars can't be choosers. Built to carry 8" or 155mm projectiles upright on the floor w/powder containers over them & fuses in the external box at the front. Deployed Jan. 44.

That is a very cool trailer, doesn’t look like anything else you normally see, really. Too bad they didn’t take advantage of the possibilities of 3D printing to, like you said, have some of the bits articulate.

Bit like the John Lewis statement but " Always at a cheaper price ":smiling3: Nice one Dave
 
Yeah Jakko, if it wasn't so expensive I'd have cut it up & made it articulated, but I'm not sure about working the plastic used. It seems pretty tough.
