Fascinating collection. Most of those vehicles I can not identify at all. I'd be curious to know more about them.
Cheers,

Nice. I especially like the dust. And the M108s pointing backwards...
Hi Lon,the first is a type 61 Japanese tank of the 1960s,the next
is a 2 1/2ton transport with a Jagpanzer Kannon (West German 1960s)on the back with a WWII German 234/3 armored car beside it. The next is West German Faun ammo truck,a pair of Unimog ambulances,next is a Mann transport truck (West German), WWII German Krupp-Protze Kfz 70 Truck,next are some WWII PUMA-like armored cars,next six photos are variations of the 1960s West German HOTCHKISS Infantry Fighting Vehicle in scout, ambulance and mortar carrier versions.Next is a 1950s US Army 155mm artillery piece.Then a pair of M108 105mm US artillery pieces,M88 ARV,M16,M17,M18 ARVs, next four are French AMX30 tanks, and last is a WWII Japanese
heavy tank.
and how could I forget....the T55M bringing up the rear!
Tim the photos are the sellers so the dust and turret placement at least had original charm ...;-)
Great haul Don, lots of classics!
Thanks Paul, it was my birthday so the boss looked the other way...;-)
What make are the Jap tanks? I don't recall them in any Roco listings I've seen.
I think the Protze might be a Nitto 1/76 kit - I have one too.
Tim the Jap tank is the Medium Tank Type 4 (Chi-To), the Protze
looks like a ROCO type to me. I'll compare it with my Nitto 1/76 and do a side by side photo shortly.
Now everyone sees why you are the Evil Empire on the Brazos (well at least in miniature) Nice haul Don!
thanks Joe...got lucky with that one!
