Odds Ends Mystery Tank ID Packaging
In the post for mystery tank, Markus Lecksheid shared that the tank was done in Turkey by AS Plastik Oyuncaklari, Istanbul Markus has shared some photos of his tank. Here you can see it completed.Here is the header card showing the name of the company. Interestingly, the words “Made in Turkey” is in English.Finally, we have a comparison of the tank with figures. As you can see it will work well with 54mm and 60mm figures.
MPC Instruction Sheets
Over the years I have acquired various instruction sheets. Two that came up with recently are for MPC weapons. the first one is for the heavy machine gun.The other instruction sheet is the rocket launcher. I lost the support years ago for the first rocket launcher I had as a child. I feel the two instruction sheets were in header bags.
Emenee Goldilocks
In my report on Jake’s Fleamarket, I showed a little girl. Kent Sprecher identified as Goldilocks from the Emmee Playbook series. I had gotten some of this series years ago. I get pieces from this series from time to time. the last piece was a prince, which I gave to a friend. The figure had been in a bag with other figures, which I paid a $1.00
Pouch Two Is Retired
Those who met me and Laurie have noticed I carry a pouch. This started when I was collecting Boy Scout patches. The pouch was a military kit bag I had purchased at an army surplus store. I moved it over to the toy soldiers and used here and in Europe. Pouch one wore out and my very good friend Gerry Watts gave me a replacement. Pouch two has worn out after twenty years of service. I have been having finding a replacement, so I am going to be using various travel bags Laurie has gotten over the years in the travel business. Pouch two will be placed with one and keep.
Well the tank made by Turkey is far better in scale than mini tank version made by Arburn or even Marx M46/47 mix based underscale as far figures in photo shows.
Auburn version was made along the 70mm scale soldiers and looks rediculous small.
I like this better.
I use the MPC rocket as late XIX century rocket artillery .
Best .
I have a Turkey same brand packing with Airfix soldiers inside,not copies or clone as same exact 70s plastic and colors of those under Humbrol production ;apparently under HUMBROL airfix they were license sold using packing in Turkey as that .it is not first time see as if look for that brand under international toys will find some off ebay some time .Nice match find ID Markus!!.
I believe Paul Stadinger has some former KO-HO soldiers inside a Turkey made packing copy of Airfix also!!?? …
thanks for sharing photos to Markus and admin
