Boot sale bargains

Post by simonm »

Couldnt believe my luck, picked both of these WSN tanks up for £2, sadly minus the controllers

T-34
Better of the 2, a few bits missing but these were in a little box that they gave me so is complete, gun mantlet has become detached inside but I have peered in & its easy to put back on. Looking at this one it hasnt been used much.

Tiger

Sadly this one hasnt faired to well, a lot of the grab handles, cupola MG ring & track links right hand side of the turret are missing, not a major issue as theses can be scratched or sourced elsewhere, the main issue is the barrel has been broken at some point & badly repaired, i may try re-breaking it & repairing it or failing that get an aftermarket one

Despite the damage I am pretty chuffed :D :D :D :thumbup: especially getting my hands on the T-34, one of my all time favourites

Definately the bargain of a lifetime, I am now thinking that I should get my sorry backside off to a local car boot sometime! 8O

Agree total bargain I thought I did well at £5 for a HL Pershing but 2 tanks for £2 has to be a new world record.

Plus I just bought a broken T34 from Welsh Dragon Models 2 weeks ago for £60 plus postage, that's how rare the T34 are.

How come all I see at boot sales is old crockery and plaster toucans?

Dont very often see Rc Tanks at the local booty, bought a few plastic kits in the past & several Roboraptors.

Many thanks again Tankbear for helping out with a controller, at least I can get it running!

Not sure what to do with the tiger yet, theres more room inside for changing to HL electronics so i may use this to have a play about with!
