I must apologise for the quality of the images in tonight's second post, however these were taken with my old camera in very poor light, but I thought a bit of large scale would go down well for a change!
Now believed to be part of the
Thomas Toys group, '
Taffy' is considered quite derogatory in these PC days!
Thomas were covered in one of
Plastic Warrior's 'Specials', see the website (top right) and eMail Paul for details of availability.
These figures turn up all the time, the vehicles are a lot rarer, and I only know of two boxes in existence, this being one of them. The trailer - in particular - is a much copied/licenced/borrowed design.
The box has that classic 'Technicolour' stirring stuff of 1950's Boys Own annuals and the like.
The tank is a generic
M46/47, and the ammo is strapped to the engine deck! Having nearly melted my boots hitching a ride on a
CVRW fox once, I worry for the crew of this warhorse...?
