stevej60 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Hi folk's Can you remember those plastic vehicles that Airfix did in the early seventies to go with their soldiers? I loved them especially the GMC truck's and the landing craft I think there was a 25 pounder and quad,a self propelled gun,Centurion tank and maybe a Panther?

BIG X Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I remember the DUKW - the 'plastic' would best be described as 'blown polythene' - you got one in the Airfix pontoon bridge assault set... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
