Small Scale Military Headquarters

1/16 AA gun, any resemblance to a real AA gun or potential to convert? Anybody got one?

I liked it, and the witty veiled insult too!

Maybe later, mine is a NZ made box/tank , although stamped made in GB, and this is a GB made one, different box.

So, it was Aurora who made a German version, not Timpo.

I just got another one, here's a pic that shows the box http://www.timpo-collector.co.nz/files/4313/8602/2055/timpo_lot_dec13_018.JPG Mine are stamped 'Timpo Toys, made in GB', whilst the Aurora Tanks are not Timpo since they are stamped 'Aurora Toys, made in USA. Timpo tanks are super rare, Aurora ...

Here's some Timpo tanks I bought, stamped 'Timpo Toys' made in GB underneath, even though they were made in NZ. The soldiers are a different shade of green to standard release.

I bought the Amphibian and the tracked Humvee today, there was also a new J-10 aircraft.
The back of the box also shows:
Military assault unit. Includes a damaged building.
Military defense unit.

Separate helmets and hats, the Chinese PLA figures have those

I had never heard of this in 1/18 before, so I thought I had better grab it, (sorry Jay).

I bought some of these to improve my displays

Not familiar with the Tiger but am with the T34 where there's a screw under the hub that holds the wheels to the suspension arm, in the Tiger's case you will probably need to remove the outer roadwheel to access the screw, try some nail polish remover along the joint and carefully separate it.

Prices for 21st century items should go up a lot when it becomes vintage in about another 15 years, when guys who had them as kids get old enough to become nostalgic collectors.

Wasn't the 21st C Abrams 1/12 scale ?

Nothing comes up with that number, got a link? I did see a full set with 2 mint tanks http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&item=221022044622&nma=true&rt=nc&si=YPFeimEadRdQz6Ng77eIcSVtgzk%253D&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc BTW I discovered a previously...

Looking to buy Timpo 1/32 figures. especially a Timpo tank.
Thanks

I love the sales BS passing off a 1/18 Patton as fitting in with 1/16, a 1/16 Patton (Chunwai) makes most all 1/16 RC tanks look tiny.

Don't forget there are PTE Chinese soldiers too.

I had a German, Desert Rat and some red beret figures but I traded them recently, they can still be found fairly cheap on ebay uk. I still have the Action force version of the MOBAT tank.

You can see the full series here http://interactivetoy.com/IATC1011/home ... honor.html
They wanted me to do a review on RC Tank HQ about the series so this reminds me to follow that up.
Nev

I have one of those but I can't decipher what it is that you want to know?
Nev

they'll be seperate hatches, just glued on like the WSN T-34. They can probably be pryed open with some patience. The early RC version which I have two of has an opening drivers hatch, it could only be opened by separating the upper/lower halves and opening the latch from it's 'closed' position. Th...

Most valuable
1/32 so far it's the Timpo figure in my avatar, rare 6 pack abs archer and rare light green legs

Edit, post removed

I've reviewed the last series of Hobbymasters 1/48 rc tanks, they are IR controlled, with 4 selectable channels.

Transfers? I didn't think so, I have given my spit a thorough clean 2 or 3 times now with warm soapy water and the roundels were not damaged.
