Now that's a collection! Just missed out on the "Breda LRDG" kit on Ebay myself. Good to see I'm not the only one with a "favourites" collection (mine is Tamiya Tigers). Cheers mate!

@@PetesKits would you like one with the Breda

@@chrishorne5855 I'm good mate. Just mentioned it to my brother, and he's given me his part built one, that he'll never finish (it's been a year and a half). Cheers!

Hi mate. Glad you like the video. Being a 2013 kit they probably aren't in Tamiya's current product line, but they do turn up quite regularly on Ebay. Even the original kit from 1976 turns up every now and then. There's some on Ebay at the moment from Japan, and the US, but these must be the gold plated ones :) as the prices are ridiculous. Hopefully one will turn up when you least expect it! Cheers!

Thank you John. Yes, I believe the Greeks named their Special Forces unit after the Sacred Band of Thebes, and a unit that fought in the early 19th century Greek War of Independence. They went on to form the basis of the current Greek Special Forces. Really appreciate the compliment about my videos. I love researching the subject, whether tank, plane or whatever. For me, it's part of model making. Adds a bit of depth to the model, I think. Cheers mate!

Thanks mate. Thanks for the sub, glad you liked the video. I do recall some of the very early "rubber" tyres coming out of Japan had a tendency to dry out and split after a while, but haven't head of that in a while. And yes, Major Bagnold who formed the original Group, wanted men who were tough, resilient, and self reliant, and he thought New Zealanders fitted the bill precisely. So he went to the 2nd New Zealand Division for volunteers. Which is why most of the LRDG trucks have Maori names. Believe about half the division volunteered...typical Kiwis! 😉Cheers !

Thanks for letting me know this. Think I will take you advice and source myself some resin replacements. I can always use the "rubber" ones as a diorama accessory somewhere. Cheers mate!

Thanks mate. Been saying it that way since I bought my first Tamiya kit fifty years ago, back in the early '70's. Think it might be a bit late now...😅 Cheers!

Yes indeed. This one is the 2nd re-box of the original Command Car kit from 1976 (#MM192) with MB figures included. The 1st re-box was a co-op with Italeri, and featured their 20mm Breda AA gun (#89785, early 2000's). I did see one of the original kits on Ebay a couple of months ago, but it went very quickly, and I missed out on it. The original and the Tamiya/Italeri kits are quite rare, but this Tamiya/MB one does turn up on Ebay every now and then. Glad you liked the video! Cheers!

It does indeed. Well spotted! Cheers!

This is one of those kits that is much sought after, and they don't last long when they do eventually appear on Ebay or where ever. Best suggestion is to check Ebay on a regular basis, daily if you can. It's how I found this one. Cheers!

@@PetesKits at least they are bringing the US Halftrack back. I have one on order

@@RedtailFox1 Yes. I saw that, and the mortar carrier, and quad MG, one as well apparently. Looks like my stash is going to grow, and my wallet shrink, in the near future! Cheers mate!

@@PetesKitsyours and mine both lol. My stash already looks like i am running a model shop already and my local toy/hobby store joke that I likely have more in my stash than they have in their store XD

@@RedtailFox1 Same here. Around 250 kits of all types and scales, and still growing.....I'm running out of space! Cheers!
