Re: Back to plastic!

Agreed.....I just came across and purchased the "Cold Steel" Panzer III F DAK; all plastic. Are the offerings in the Motorworks boxes all plastic, too?
Thanks,
dV

I don't remember what the original metal tanks were boxed in.. The "Cold Steel" (actual metal vehicles) were only a short run and not very popular as most collected dust here on local shelves and were eventually clearanced off.. After that, 21st went back to making them all plastic.. I think the reason 21st went back though is that they weren't making any money at that pricepoint by using metal which is getting moere expensive (IIRC Zinc is now 3x more valuable per pound than aluminum)..

BTW, Welcome to this forum dV!!!!
