Toys from Col

The loot, all presents from Col


Never worked with this scale before but thought I might attempt a little 1/35 scale diorama


The Zulus will get a paint job at some stage as I've always had a minor interest in this period, and the seaplane will be an excellent early war addition


Will get a late war paint job 


How cool is this lot? Took me back thirty years!


These are staying in the colours they are in, extremely well made and painted; manufacturer unknown


One of only two Japanese transports in my collection


Might repaint this one, haven't yet decided, either way it's a nice model


Another really well made and painted kit. I think this might be a Boeing of some type, it will probably see service with one or two of my minor nations collection. All in all an awesome haul. Thanks Col!

  1. Very nice haul there - Col is most generous! Quite a nice collection of military diecasts from the 1970s too - with some nice modifications on the Matchbox Weasels. Quite a good range of the Playart stuff there too!

    The last photo seems to be the Matchbox Boeing P-12E PEASHOOTER kit. The fifth photo has the Hawsega kubelwagen and motorcycle combination, with the Airfix Opel Blitz. Paul hasn't posted his Monday model quiz yet so I guess I'm identifying your stuff to get it out of my system!
