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

Nice. I especially like the dust. And the M108s pointing backwards...

and how could I forget....the T55M bringing up the rear!
ReplyDeleteTim the photos are the sellers so the dust and turret placement at least had original charm ...;-)
ReplyDeleteGreat haul Don, lots of classics!
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul, it was my birthday so the boss looked the other way...;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat make are the Jap tanks? I don't recall them in any Roco listings I've seen.
ReplyDeleteI think the Protze might be a Nitto 1/76 kit - I have one too.
