I already have LOADS of stuff… from a while back and not wanting more! But if interested, there is quite bit of stuff around. April 23. US price and postage would be prohititive to UK. But some decent price items from Canada and postage, nowhere US levels. Just a 'heads up' if after prepaint 1/144. |

Sorry, links appear VERY long. Just Ebay, search Takara WTM 1/144 and you should get there. |

Nice snag there machinehead, easily the most sought after set. Too bad didnt leave any for the rest of us 😊 If I might be so gauche what did it run you for each box? What was the final count for each model? I have enough of the ersatz M-10 Panthers to last a lifetime! |

Marc, there were 2 listings of 2 boxes each with free shipping from Japan. Total came to $170. USD The seller has some other deals too. WTM 7 and the Vs. sets. The sets are consolidated though, one listing of WTM 7 has 118 – 127 and the other has 128 – 137 auction

Some good finds there! I already have all that I could ever need, though. |

Thank your (or is that "tanks") for the links. I was able to leap on these items many years ago. Mostly looking to fill out with perhaps a few more M8 and the 88mm gun they have. I probably wouldnt say no to a few more Shermans or perhaps another Kublewagon or two as well. I am in the fortunate position of having a number of extras and would love sometime to run into another aficionado to work some trades. I also caught the Dragon Can-do when they were still widely available and cheap. My best buy was a box of their Mk IIIs. Bidding was slow and I won it pretty cheap with the frosting on the cake the guy was local so dropped it by my house and I saved on shipping! Ah those were the days. |

This was my best haul of Dragon Cando back in 2011. 171 vehicles for $171 USD :D link |

I was very lucky, several years ago… and snapped up 'Platoon Packs' of Takara 75mm Sherman, Panther… and think, PzIII… rather cheap! Cannot , now, remember… whether Ebay or as a Show. You just have to Fish! |

Marc, 2 Kubelwagens here for a bit over $10 USD not counting shipping though. link It comes with decals, pe parts and clear plastic for the windshields.
|
Marc33594 ![Supporting Member of TMP Supporting Member of TMP](boards/icons/sp.gif) | 10 Apr 2023 7:01 a.m. PST |
Thanks for those they look pretty good and really not that bad a price (excluding shipping) for a multimedia kit |

Got my package today by Fed Ex, it only took 4 days from Japan! There were 7 Jagdpanzer IVs, 7 Shermans (3 of them whitewashed), 6 Wirbelwinds, 6 Panthers, 4 ersatz M10 Panthers, 4 King Tigers, 3 M8s (1 Whitewashed), 2 M20s, 5 Schwimmwagens and the Special M47 Patton. |
Heedless Horseman ![Supporting Member of TMP Supporting Member of TMP](boards/icons/sp.gif) | 11 Apr 2023 5:38 a.m. PST |
Excellent Find! Shermans 75mm, M8s and esp M20s and Wirbelwinds are rareities! Expensive individually! :) |
Marc33594 ![Supporting Member of TMP Supporting Member of TMP](boards/icons/sp.gif) | 11 Apr 2023 6:35 a.m. PST |
Not a bad mix at all. I knew some folks who bought multiple boxes of 10 and didnt get any M8s or M20s but now have cornered the market on the ersatz M10s! Just think if WTM had substituted actual M10s in the selection. |
machinehead ![Supporting Member of TMP Supporting Member of TMP](boards/icons/sp.gif) | 11 Apr 2023 3:06 p.m. PST |
If anybody wants to make a trade let me know. What I'm willing to part with are 2 Jagdpanzer IVs, 1 M20 (including the Schwimmwagen it came with), 2 Shemans (1 whitewashed and 1 two-toned), all 4 ersatz Panthers, 1 whitewashed Wirbelwind and the M47 special. Contact me through PM here if interested, no printed stuff or money please. |

What I'm interested in would be OD green M3 halftracks from WTM 5 1 for 1 or Arclight (US version of WTM) dark yellow Panther Gs (the ones with the side skirts) 2 for 1 for the more rare items. Will consider all other offers though. |
Heedless Horseman ![Supporting Member of TMP Supporting Member of TMP](boards/icons/sp.gif) | 12 Apr 2023 4:55 p.m. PST |
Someone,(Maybe Pegasus?), did an M3 prepaint… but in a strange camo… and not as good as Takara. There is a kit box of 6 M3s, 'Victrix' . Not difficult, but not tried.. Rattle can Of some sort of O/D, Dk grey Tyres/Tracks/ MG and some sort of canvas colour for seats and you are done. And they have crew figs and extra kit detailing… and decals…if you wish. I am not 'doing stuff', but if you can be up to 'building' models 1/144 plastic … Victrix stuff looks excellent! Single vehicles may be available. |
machinehead ![Supporting Member of TMP Supporting Member of TMP](boards/icons/sp.gif) | 12 Apr 2023 5:35 p.m. PST |
Those prepainted M3 halftracks were by 21st Century toys, still available here and very cheap too. auction I have a bunch of them and the Victrix ones too. Also a couple of Arrowhead and WTM |
Heedless Horseman ![Supporting Member of TMP Supporting Member of TMP](boards/icons/sp.gif) | 12 Apr 2023 5:44 p.m. PST |
Ta. I got it wrong… yep 21C toys … and they DO seem V cheap! Got enough for me, though. Thanks, anyway! |

Just a note on the 21st Century M3's – assuming its the same seller which it may not be but the photo matches and I know they've changed names and location. I ordered a bunch a few years back now. Came unboxed and one or two had problems with the chassis assembly. Nothing deal breaking IMO for the price. The MGs are a bit naff as well. I'm guessing they picked up liquidation stock – but not the tanks. I picked up tanks from a US company (before postage prices went nuts) can't remember who but they had a huge amount of 21stC stuff again I assume liquidation stock – but only tanks in 1:144th. |
machinehead ![Supporting Member of TMP Supporting Member of TMP](boards/icons/sp.gif) | 15 Apr 2023 4:29 p.m. PST |
He sells them boxed too but for a slightly higher price. I've ordered from him a few times with no problems. ROU was the seller Monkey Depot? I got a ton of boxed sets from them after 21st went belly up. |

Incidentally, Revell Germany do a set of US WW2 vehicles in 1/144. 2 each of Sherman (Maybe M4A2?), Truck and M8 a/c/ They were cargo load for LCM model. Unpainted and fairly basic, (M8 turret does not rotate.). But could be detailed up with stowage, etc. auction |
machinehead ![Supporting Member of TMP Supporting Member of TMP](boards/icons/sp.gif) | 16 Apr 2023 8:44 a.m. PST |
I bought 6 sets of those here. If you scroll down the pictures in the member gallery are mine. link |
Marc33594 ![Supporting Member of TMP Supporting Member of TMP](boards/icons/sp.gif) | 17 Apr 2023 6:18 a.m. PST |
They are pretty basic. You did a nice job with them. |
machinehead ![Supporting Member of TMP Supporting Member of TMP](boards/icons/sp.gif) | 19 Apr 2023 8:56 a.m. PST |
I looked around for the 5 tank platoon packs and snagged one of the Panthers for 21$ + shipping. Got them today. Since they are all dark yellow I plan on painting them up in 3 tone camo. |

One reason to like the ones already painted dunkelgelb you can make up your own fairly easy and you can pair with decal sheets here: link |

The perils of Ebay and whiskey! Bought Sherman M4A3 75mm just as a 'cheer up'. With postage, nearly £15.00 GBP for one tank! But, it was UK, not often seen, so H with it! Women buy handbags or Shoes… why not a Tank ! LOL! |
machinehead ![Supporting Member of TMP Supporting Member of TMP](boards/icons/sp.gif) | 13 May 2023 12:26 p.m. PST |
Got more WTM from the same vendor as above. One box had 8 random specials one of which was this helicopter. Not WW2 so of no value to me. Anybody want it?
