Found this interesting, but as donor parts for a future sci-fi project, not their intended/designed purpose:

Definitely!  Good "tankage" is hard to find in the necessary sizes.  This looks to be a very fine assortment of tanks.

I swear I've seen the rear axle rims of that British coal lorry on some jazzed-up Audi recently. More modern tire, but the rim was definitely the same.  ;D

At least it is not sporting those rotating inner rim things that are all shiny and spin around with the wheel but keep spinning with the vehicle stops.

They were banned in the UK, ISTR there were some accidents when drivers weren't sure if the cars were moving or not . . .

Just a dumb question, but why would the USSR Triebflugel have Soviet stars as 'kill' markings ?
Also, the serial on the British version is 'VF-306' (with a dash). Someone should call Macross Command, and tell them we've found their lost Veritech Fighter . . .   ;D


cheers,
Robin.

Just a guess but those kill marks might represent the number of Soviet pilots lost trying to land the damned thing!

Nothing unusual about the Russian/Soviet craft sporting red victory stars.  This was standard for the Russians as they hated the NAZI Swatsika and preferred to show their victories as red stars instead on their aircraft.

Whoa! Nice.  :smiley: I had hoped they would release this as a stand-alone item, but wasn't betting on that actually happening.
