Maybe if we both close our eyes and wish real hard......

It is real diecast. It's got heft. Yet Minichamps has Tamiya-like detail. Metal tracks, working suspension.

The livery is an 'ambush' type pattern. Showroom new.

One note: This particular model is the only Minichamps Armor model without the usual 2 screwholes at the bottom (where it screws into the styrofoam packaging).

I also owe you a debt of thanks Mr. Football for opening my eyes to the beauty of this particular piece of die-cast some time ago. Also, when I saw it in the shop display cabinet, I immediately remembered the info you had mentioned previously (as you mentioned again in your recent post) regarding the lack of the screwholes on the bottom of the hull and voila there were none, just as you had said .

I'll now be on the lookout for a winter camo 251 half-track ...

Good for Cardinal, congrats. No pictures? What are your thoughts on the very oddly coloured maroon Pather? A bit garish?

I've just got the white jagdtiger & panther 350-019000 today from a web site in the USA
The 88mm flak gun & 8 ton prime mover are a must have

Martin, that's a terrific find!

If you don't mind how much were they, and do they have any more?

Is this (perchance) the one and the same 'maroon' shade/colour, as featured in the other thread on the Minichamps Panther ????????

If it is, it's called "RottBraun" & it's a frequently applied German armour colour - BUT rather than guess, you got any pix guys??????
