Hello everybody.
I’m searching for two old rare resin kits, one from -Japanese Armor King- and one from -Warriors-
It’s the set WW2 Japanese soldiers 6 casualties in 1/35 size.
The second one is the resin kit from -Warriors- No. 35545 WW2 USMC Stretcher Team.
If someone have this kits and wants to sell it, I will be happy.
Or maybe, someone can tell me, where I can get this old kits.
Thanks a lot.
Best regards Christian
Hi, yeah I’ve found most stuff on aliexpress is cheap copies for the most part. Being new to this forum and scale modelling in general, i dont know if its bad form to recommend places like that. I only commented because id buy that same kit in a flash if I could find it as well. Im doing a Guadalcanal diorama and Ive found the Japa ese casualties that Verlinden did are, despite claiming 1/35 scale, noticeably different than other 1/35 kits. This kit the OP posted looks excellent, but i guess virtually non existent nowadays.
That is not the case at all. I have still have many items from Ted Dyer (Japanese Armor King), and most are not copied from anyone. While he did produce some improved versions of some of the Pit Road white metal artillery pieces and towing tractor that were basically impossible to find due to limited production, that was the extent of it. He was the first to do a 1/16 Type 94 Tankette, and the majority of his Japanese figures (as well as others) were original. As noted by Christian, nobody every did Japanese casualties when his were released. These kits were done in the 90s, long before anyone else other then Pit Road and Fine Molds were doing Japanese items.
No, I didn’t found something till today.
And yes, I saw this Aliexpress copies. You can find it also on ebay.
I found some other running marine corps figures.
So, I builed my own stretcher team.
The stretcher is an old one from a Italeri marine corps set.
