Small Scale Military Headquarters

Hi All,
Well, Minichamps just announced their 2007 lineup, although its never clear if they plan to add more vehicles types/repaints later in the year. Here ya go:

1:35 Leopard 2A4GR - 21. Armored Brigade, 20. Armored Division, Thessaloniki, Greece, October 2005
1:35 GMC CCKW 353 B2 Box Truck
1:35 GMC CCKW 353 B2 Tanker
1:43 VW 181 1969 'BUNDESWEHR FEUERWEHR' (ARMY FIRE DEPT )
1:43 VW T5 TRANSPORTER 2002 'BUNDESWEHR NOTARZT'(ARMY AMBULANCE)

Cordially,

Incidentally, near as I can tell, the Leopard tank is based upon one serving with the Greek Hellenic Army. I've done as much research as I can after learning about this item and this is the best I can come up with based upon the Minichamps description.

I'm also going to guess that the "box" GMC truck is a basic Deuce-and-a-half with its canvas cargo covering raised. Some things get lost in the translation when they're initially made public...

Hi,
Not sure if anyone is interested but according to the German Minichamps site, their eagerly awaited Centurion tank is "now available," at least in Europe. Of course, no image was posted on the site, but generally it tends to show up soon thereafter here in North America as soon as their American distributor receives it.

Thx for the intell lightning2000
The GMC CCKW 353 B2 Box Truck look very nice
Ican't wait for the pics of the Centurion tank
The Mk1 Centurion tank was tested in germany just at the end of ww2
So i will need to change the gun on the minchamps one

So let me see if I got this straight. Two days ago, you call me a thief on a public forum and now its "thanks for the intell"? Because of that thread, we probably lost several hundred if not thousand dollars in revenue, plus people think we're completely dishonest because you couldnt wait for your plane. Now you act like nothing ever happened. Why the sudden change of heart?

careful......

I do enjoy the the intel that lightning shares with us. I can't speak for all, but it takes more than one person to change my mind about a person, opinion or store...at least someone whom I do not have a rapport with. I imagine it's like that for most of us. That said....I shall not contribute further to this or other referances to the deleted thread, and I would advise others to do the same, as this is not the place for it.
