A Plea to Armor Modelers

As most of you know, I am now serving in Baghdad for the next year or so. I have linked up with the Baghdad Model Club and am glad to report that it is going strong. They have an office (about 10' x 10') that is stacked to about waist high with boxes upon boxes of donated models. They have plenty of supplies too, better than some hobby shops I have been in. The troops really appreciate the support and enjoy the diversion in their limited free time.
The only problem is, the armor representation is woefully lacking. There are boxes and boxes of aircraft, but only about 12 armor models, w/5 of them being the same one. Please send more armor so we can give the aircraft guys a run for their money. Any armor, softskins, artillery, etc. would be great. Any era too, but most want to build models of what they are currently using. So modern stuff would be great. They don't have many figure sets either, I only found only 2 or 3.
Instead of selling some of those unwanted kits, please consider donating them to the troops. They would be greatly appreciated.
If anyone wants to donate, you can send them to me and I will get them to the clubhouse. Send them to the following address:
MAJ Gino P. Quintiliani
HHC 10th MTN DIV
APO AE 09342
Anything you send would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
