The germans are getting very cheeky!!!

Post by BrummieModeller »

So i decided to have a look at the kit i'm going to add to my group build (M16 halftrack by Revell), to then find this inside! :shock: turns out that it was a ENGLISH made kit and the germans have robbed it and then "tried" to cover it up!!! :o Very Cheeky!!

I can tell from the kit numbers on the sprues which they haven't taken off that this is an old Matchbox kit and I am guessing its the American anti-aircraft half track with the bomb damaged railtrack diorama? Do I get a prize if I am right?

Well i think the reasons why they did that are obvious, the kit isn´t made in England anymore although the mould forms are from there. Has some lawful reasons for sure. However, it looks funny and i don´t really get why they erased it not completely.
