WTB: 1/18 M17 M45 Quadmount Gun Trailer

Post by mountian-man » Thu Dec 05, 2013 8:26 pm

Hello all,

Over the past few months my Father has befriended my Grandmother's neighbor, George. George is a 90-something year old veteran of the Battle of the Bulge. My Father showed me a wartime photo of George perched on his anti-aircraft gun. I've always been a collector of aircraft, but I remembered that 21st Century released an 1/18 'M17 M45 Quadmount 2 ton gun trailer' which is extremely close, if not identical to George's gun. My Father and I got the idea that this would make an ideal Christmas present for George. If anyone has a spare one for sale in their collection, or knows where I can find one at a reasonable price ($30 - $40) please let me know! It doesn't necessarily have to be 'new in box', just in good condition so it can be displayed. Thank you!

There's a couple on ebay now, both MIB and both BIN type auctions. One is selling for $65 and the other for nearly $73. A bit more than what they cost originally...
