Re: GI Joe bridge layer tank

Ahhhhhhhhh, bringing back the memories you are, Aferg.

This was the very first Joe vehicle I ever owned. If my deluded memories serve me, it was a Sears exclusive from the Christmas catalog. Can't remember what ever happened to my bridge layer, but I always wanted more vehicles to cross the bridge.

The only "constructive" criticism is that it really needs a polished or chromed up tail pipe. But it does look nice.

Point 1 about Admiral is not correct. I told Historic that the Hartmann is on indefinite hold because they keep asking for a time of delivery.

pickel, I don't believe your math. The F-117 is no way that long. In real terms it is about the same length as the F-16.

I've always thought it would be the ideal size in this market. For boxes, the ways it could come apart would let it fit in anything.

Has to be 1/18th:

• Estimated Ship Dimensions : 33 inches length x 10.5 inches width x 10 inches height
• Estimated Ship weight: 8.65 pounds

I hope it is the Hill AFB scheme that was originally planned instead of the Inchon Wolf Pack we have already.
