I've been sorting all the AFV's in the
attic, bedroom and garage, into one 'master collection', only to find after I'd
taken 70-odd boxes and tubs to the new Storage unit (hopefully more temporary
than previous times) another box of unsorted AFV's! As I was going I was taking
various shots as chance presented the opportunity, and one was this little
line-up!
From the left; the Crescent original in die-cast metal alloy (the red paint probably home-added), a Blue Box copy in hard Polystyrene (PS) and a softer sub-piracy in polyethylene (PE), which may Ri-Toys; they both had a bash, and I didn't compare with the carded sets.
In fact it too has some home paint and then there's the pale blue-grey version from Blue Box and a cleaner Crescent somewhere, so we will have a proper look at all of them one day, but this'll do for now!

Do all of them fire matchsticks?
Oooh YeeeSSS! But the 2nd generation copy is a bit top heavy and will fall forwards! Blue box used to issue a small runner of plastic shells, Crescent may have done likewise, or metal ones like Britains; I'm not sure?
