Hi Group,

I snared these at an established hobby shop, selling an estate collection. These are 4 that I jumped on for various reasons; all but the Bomarc are original issues and still shrink wrapped.


The Brumbar - built it once and remember how much I loved the Monogram armor.

Revell A-20 - look at that box art. Low-level against Panthers in North Africa(!). I always wanted this kit while thumbing through Revell catalogues but never found one.

Pyro's Gatling Gun - the hobby shop had 4 different cannon from this series and I built a couple long ago; decided on the G.G. since I never built it.

So, whatcha think? Which one? I need a nostalgia build soon.

Flakpanzer! I built the wirbelwind as a kid. I can still remember the excellently posed crew.

That Flakpanzer brings back memories! As a child, my Monogram forces would advance across the lawn, with the panzers and Allies mingled together in the "jungle"...

But, I'm more interested in the gatling gun - I never had one of those.

The flakpanzer. I built that kit in Jr. High. Glued little pieces of cotton stiffened with hair spray and painted grey as muzzle flashes.
