This is the other half of the auction Paul showed you all the other day http://plasticwarriors.blogspot.co.nz/2012/04/model-picking-nz-style.html Some most excellent additions to my collection to be sure
Had hoped these would fit in with my early war stuff but think they have 50L60 guns which would make them mid to late? The Esci one on the right has an unusual gun
Also of early war consideration but not sure when this entered service in the AA role?
Looks to mix well with the Armourfast one of these I have already
I've already started repainting the trucks, Matilda IIs and carriers, more on those later.
Nice lot of armor. I especially like the MKIII with the Schuertzen. That is a nice find.
ReplyDeletewow. good deal there. let the battle commence
ReplyDeleteI really like the way you and Paul operate, it's great that these old kits get a second life- and when you guys have finished with them- new & improved.
ReplyDeleteI've had a bit of a look through "Trade Me" as apparently Australians can also register.
Definitely a nice varied haul! Looking forward to seeing you how you bring this stuff back to life
ReplyDeleteGood work Al. Enough to keep you going for a while!
ReplyDeleteYour haul was sweet Al, still waiting for my other auction to arrive, dog gone it!
ReplyDeleteTha Stug42 does look good.
They are a lot!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with these Al.
I'm jealous of the Centurion and Scorpion(?). I look forward to updates.
ReplyDeleteYou lucky, lucky boys! You don't see good deals like that on eBay very often...
ReplyDeleteusually they are 'damaged/for kitbashing" lots.
Those look to be Pz.III Ausf L, which is pretty much end of the line for the Panzer III. They're mid war, but did see action in Holland when the training units were thrown into combat.
ReplyDeleteI am amazed that someone built a Scorpion and sold it. I recently built that kit myself only to realise that my 12 year old self was right, it's infuriating.
Lol :) on the Scorpion mate. Thanks for the info on the PIIIs too, shame, would liked to have boosted my early war stuff. Paul is grand master bargain hunter!
ReplyDeleteI'm not an expert but I think the L/60 gun was introduced in 1942, so it's mid-war rather than late war. The skirted version is definitely late war.
ReplyDeleteThe one with the odd barrel is a Flammpanzer III, flamethrower modification. 100 ausf. M tanks was converted into flametanks, not sure when, although the M version was introduced in 1943.
