1:76 Quad-50 Mounts

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
