The trucks make it across the river.
The first truck is MPC, the other two are Tim Mee.
The Jeeps are MPC, and so is the rocket launcher, and the bridge launcher.
The troops are mostly MPC and Vice-president Nixon and General Patton are from Marx.
The weasel is a recast MPC and the truck is an original MPC. The MPC truck is a two axle truck.
The Tim Mee trucks are perhaps 40 years old and are three axle trucks. Tim Mee says they may make a new mold soon and cast them again.
The weasel has a hollow plastic rocket launcher rather than the original style solid wooden dowel.
It would be nice if the Tim Mee trucks were recast, the originals are getting pricey!
ReplyDeleteTim Mee says that's the plan, but they are proceeding slowly.

Yeah, that's to be understood. New product development takes time.
ReplyDeleteMaking those molds is really expensive and you don't want to make a mistake.

Not to be an annoying know-it-all, but isn't the "rocket launcher" on the weasel really supposed to be the old army 106mm recoilless rifle?
ReplyDeleteYes it is.
