Launch Aircraft!

The plane starts to move along the rails.

The plane is moving.

Almost airborne!

Nearly there!

 We're aloft!

Take Off

The men prepare the plane.

It's ready to take off.

Everyone get back.

Engines rev up!

The ground crewmen take up rifles to fight the ground war.

Flying Machine

The Martians have landed their cylinder, assembled their war machines and moved towards the town.

The Army having been alerted to the danger have deployed their newest weapon.

A Wright Flyer with a single bomb.

Never used in combat, never even tested....

The brave pilot will make his attack hoping to hit one of the war machines.

Special Notice Roco to Cease Production

Roco Minitanks will cease production in 2019, it has been confirmed by the company.

"Dear Mr. Creek,

Thanks for your message! However, we must confirm these "rumors" - Roco won't continue the production of Minitanks in 2019. Which company will take over the production is currently not fixed,

We are sorry, that we have no better infos for you!

I heard a rumor that Roco Minitanks were going to go out of business and they have confirmed they will cease production in 2019.  The product line has been for sale but no buyers yet.

 

I got my first Roco Minitanks in about 1963 and I have purchased them ever since.

 

This is very sad news.
