Bunker Talk: Poly Tanks

Wednesday, June 26, 2024

T. Cohn made plastic army vehicles in the 1960s in about 1/72nd scale.

Airfix made very similar vehicles, also in polyethylene plastic.

I don't intentionally buy them but I have managed to gather a few of them over the years.

They are durable and good kids toys.

Being soft plastic they hold up well to hard play.

They have nice wheels on the bottom and roll well.

I have only had a few of these poly vehicles and apart from the landing craft never intentionally bought any of them.

I got them in lots with other stuff on ebay and places.

Thanks for commenting.
