Ready Made Vehicles
Here are some examples of Airfix 1st version
Ready Made vehicles. The Cargo Truck
is the only one which is also part of the 2nd version collection. The SPG
and Armored Personnel Carrier are similar to their 2nd version counterparts but
have some major differences. The two tanks in this picture are a Pershing
and a Patton. The molds for the vehicles or the rights to use the molds
were probably acquired from an American company. They show up in many
different playsets by American companies and are quite common the U.S.
