Does anyone know how to get in touch with, or anything about, "Tsukuda Hobby"?
I have a couple of dinosaurs (a Tyranosaur and a Triceratops) in plastic from Tsukuda that I bought sometime in my distant past and lost any paperwork/packaging that might have accompanied them (I don't think there was any). They're actually quite nice, esp. the Triceratops, and have realistic glass(?) eyes.

To get back on topic many people consider the Triceratops the "tank of dinosauria."

Itcbj: Dude, how dare you try to pollute the majesty of 1:32 Warbirds by bringing up lowly Reptiles! Actually, the truth can now be told-I am a Dino nut also (as are undoubtedly many other Board members). You might try writing to Mike Fredericks, the Editor of Prehistoric Times magazine. He is an expert in the field of Dinosaur models and toys. His e-mail is : pretimes@comcast.net. In case you want to find out about Prehistoric Times magazine, its website is : www.prehistorictimes.com. PT is the best source for news about Dinosaurs, IMHO.
Check it out!

P.S. Actually, Dinosaurs are really Archosaurs, like Birds, not Reptiles. But you knew that!

donnieboy: The link doesn't work correctly. I had to type in the web address. Thanks for the tip. I have sent an email with photos to Mike. I took a look at the site and found that there are no photos of what he has for sale. Truly a site for the trusting cognisanti. I have no idea what most of the items he has available even look like. I don't like to buy a "dino in the poke" myself. Further exploration in due course.

The Luftwaffesaurus flying-creatures are my favorite 8), take the Fw-190D(ino), for example :oops: 8). I believe that the IceAge as experienced in Russia contributed their demise, too.

I believe it was the P-51D(ino) and the Jugosaurus that contributed to the FW-190D(ino)'s extinction more directly.
