Huh? What do you think of this? It's not
all of them, but therein lies a small story, as Adrian found it it had an extra
jeep, but no carrier, and they were all jumbled up, so he wasn't sure it was
complete, so when I took it up to the stands outside the hall, to photograph it
I worked out that each vehicle's wheels fitted in slots in the lining-card.
Turned-out this box didn't have the carrier (single 'rocking' axle) but did
have slots for the truck.
I suppose there was a version with the
carrier and/or the other missing vehicles - amphibious Jeep/DUKW (it's none too
accurate for either) and twin-Bofors 'gun-truck'? But that was months later and a didn't photograph the whole one - Doh!
Box sides, the turret of the armoured-car
was missing and I was going to provide a replacement, but in the end to
colour-match, I just gave Adrian a whole one as swap for the Allied-star adorned
jeep which was buckshee to the set.
Seen here on the right; most of the
vehicles can be found with or without the thermo-printed star (exceptions so
far being the staff car, gun & limber, and strangely the Churchill?) while
all the vehicles which take figures (Jeep, carrier and amphi-thing) can be
found with one, two or three figures glued in. The Gun truck also gets a gunner
sometimes.
We looked at them separately here, eleven years ago!
