1:76 WW2 vehicles

Post by CJS »

Af'noon all

My grandfather made these models, I think in the 1960s / 70s. I've just rescued them from leaving the family and thought I'd share a few pics here. I like 'em!

I think they are very interesting, though I'm not sure what all of them are. The jeep looks rather out of scale next to the Dingo?

Ha, you're right. Next to the others the Jeep looks about right so maybe the Dingo is wrong?

With all due respect to your Grandfather, and unless he was French, he didn't make the Radar trailer in the 1st picture!

I think I still have a couple of my military toys from the 60's in the loft, I do know I have quite a few of the plastic airfix soldiers packed away.

No you're right that one is a metal/plastic model.
