Hello You Guys, Do you have two 1:76 Quad-50-caliber gun mounts which you like to get rid of? They were a part of an US Army half-track kit. Tim
I apologize, always thought you are Garth.
Anyhow, they are available online from Walmart for about $ 10.0, or less on eBay.
Thank you, sir …
Garth was my pen name … I’ve started to go back to my real name, Tim - what the T stood for …
Ah I see. Then Tim it shall be.
It’s an old Airfix kit, I see. Years ago I was given a 1/76 Airfix 88mm gun kit in that scale. Looked ok next to 1/72 aircraft.
Thank you to you all, … But, I found a source …
Hello All,
How are you? Well, the guy who said that he was going to send me two Matchbox Halftrack kits which had the quad-50 mounts never sent them. Would anyone here have two of those mounts that they’d want to get rid of?
I don’t need the Halftracks, I just need the quad-50 mounts. If you do, please email me at ask@ptboatworld.com.
Thank you,
Tim
Since Matchbox no longer makes plastic kits, you’re going to find that one hard to fine. www.oldmodelkits.com has one at the moment: www.oldmodelkits.com/index.php .
The price is $20.00 - which these days isn’t bad.
Airfix sold them too. Just don’t confuse with their current kit, the one with the trailer.
I see 'em on eBay for $5-$10 now and then. Just put in a watch for them. You’ll get a few quick.
And the basic tractor is fine without the guns, if a little weird scaled.
Revell Germany has a reboxing of the old Matchbox kit: www.squadron.com/…/rg3228.htm . Squadron has it in stock - for about half the price of the one at Old Model Kits.
Hello All,
I want to give a huge 2 thumbs up to MILICAST MODELS and Tom Welsh in particular. I need 2 quad-50 caliber gunmounts and only those, no Halftracks and no trailers …
Today, Tom Welsh of MILICAST told me that they’d sell me the 2 gunmounts without the accompanying trailers …
That’s what I call pleasing the customer.
Tim
