Verlinden Anyone?

[Elefant6]

Wow! Would you happen to have the 1/35 scale laminated turret for the T-34/76 ? I could use 1 or 2 of them. Had one years ago and Sold it. Haven’t been able to find one since. Thanks.

Heya, Rob,

Thanks a bunch fer offering ta go full Indiana Jones on this mountain of Verlinden stash!!!

I am looking for the 120mm Marine “USMC Marine w/M16 Rifle Battle of Hue in Vietnam War” Kit # 2562. Long sleeves, bandoleers, and flak jacket, common dress for Marines fighting for Hue during Tet.

For reference, here’s a link to a nice build up of the figure from a few years ago:

120mm USMC, Hue 1968

Hi folks, thought I’d share this little chap with you all. I’ve been working on him on & off for a while now and finally done! [image] [image] [image] [image] It’s the old Verlinden Marine. I added a few bits to it, namely the M16 barrel & foregrip and the M72 LAW over his shoulder. Both Reedees items. This is how it started… [image] [image] Now, I know there’s a few of you out there that wore this uniform so, I hope I’ve done him justice. G.

Thanks again fer takin’ a look, Rob — much appreciated!!

With Regards and Aloha,

Johnny B.

Gents,
I recently stumbled on a second-hand model store in a back-alley in Tokyo with an extensive stock of Verlinden items. If anyone has anything in particular for which they are in the market, PM me and I’ll see if I can find it there.

Is the 1/35 mi 24 cockpit available!?
Thanks!

[Namabiiru]

Not sure, but I can take a look. Do you need it in a hurry? Not sure how soon I’ll be downtown again.

[Fubar]

Very true! Definitely no rush on my part…
Thanks again!

Another ask - looking for the 1/48 flatbed railcar.
Thanks,
John

I know I have not seen that thus far.

[Namabiiru]

That one’s going to be a challenge, but I’ve added it to the list

[Wanamaker]

Maybe you’re the man to ask and I know this is probably a major shot in the dark, but is there any chance you know where I could find The Verlinden factory window butyrate sheet ? I don’t have a reference number anymore because this is all I have left from the sheet

The clear sheet included three sizes of lined windows.

I was very recently in the shop with all the Velinden stuff in it, and I don’t recall seeing anything like that there. But I’ll add it to my watch list since I have to go back there in the near future anyway.

I don’t know if they’re still available, but I used to get overhead transparencies that could be printed on an inkjet printer. If you can find some of that still in an office supply place, you could probably make a pretty satisfactory substitute.

[Wanamaker]

Thank you for that. I was actually able to find one on eBay but it’s not for verlinden It’s custom diorama #202 commercial windows.
