Brian Johnson is looking for this tank. It is called the Defender. The tank itself is a Merkava tank. The tank is Israel battle tank.

Here is the Merkava tank out of the box. As you can see Brian has put an MPC ring hand army figure next to the tank. If you can help Brian let me know and I will pass your name and email to him.

Garage Sale Find

Our local fairgrounds has an indoor garage sale twice a year. I have been going to the garage sale for years with a hit or miss luck. The last few garage sales have been disappointments. The fall event, one I only found a few MPC dinosaurs.

The latest one was a different story. I stopped at a stand run by a person who was in my junior high school class. He had a bag of Marx Germans and Americans. Then I found a dealer with a big box of collector painted Italeri Napoleonic figures. One of the odd things was the previous owner had put Italeri Napoleonic figures on Jean horses. I did find other figures besides Italeri Napoleonic in the box. Among other items wereAirfix and Accurate figures. I sold off the Napoleonic only keeping one Italeri Mongol I found and a reissue, Marx WWII French figure. The French figure had been painted by this unknown collector and I decide to added it the collection.
