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

and how could I forget....the T55M bringing up the rear!

Don M said...

Tim the photos are the sellers so the dust and turret placement at least had original charm ...;-)

Paul said...

Great haul Don, lots of classics!

Don M said...

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.

Tim Gow said...

I think the Protze might be a Nitto 1/76 kit - I have one too.

Don M said...

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.
