Arnhem Series Recce Jeep (1 Viewer)

[Njja]

I was just lucky enough to win a Recce Jeep & supply trailer from Brad on

Ebay. I was wondering if anyone knew what these two items were made from?

Are they early Polystone, resin, or what ever? I noticed on Bill Sager's site

that the original price was $192.

As this is my earliest Arnhem piece I am very interested to know.

A little help please, Louis, Gideon, Bill, Andy.......class...class anyone?


Thanks

The Arnhem Recce Jeep is metal. The trailer is resin and metal. They are very nice mid-1990's K&C production. All of the Arnhem Jeeps are metal except for the Para Jeep (which comes without figures), which is a wonderfully detailed wood and metal vehicle. Congrats on picking these up.

Why thank you Louis:

I am quite pleased to add them to my little Arnhem group....the boys were

tired of walking. I told Brad I'm about to put "A Bridge To Far" in for a little

late night entertainment.

Leadmen,

Have fun! I know I seldom get the chance for such a great movie marathon at my house. Seize the opportunity to indulge your movie passions while you have the time!

Warmest personal regards,

Pat

I feel same way at Chicago. Remember I was on his floor looking at Arnhem sets together. I think he wanted $500 for whole series plus extras. Guess we were not rocket scientists that day. Too busy with napoleonics and other things. He sure had a big collection. We missed the boat. No one else was even looking except us. Like the movie Girls Gone Wild, this week will be me doing my thing. John

I just saw that an ebay auction for AN 001, Battle for the Bridge, went for $500, higher than the usual price for this item. A little too high in my view. But, whatever.

And a AK25 at $204,52

It looks like the certificate brings a bit more $$$ to the auction. I just noticed it was signed by two of the Para's that fought there.

Really nice touch, and a great addition to your collection.
