Andy Gard Jeep - SP

This is the fourth of six vehicles in Andy Gard's line of Army vehicles suitable for their 60mm Ringhand Army figures. Unlike the tank, Weasel, and personnel carrier, which were nearly identical to their MPC counterparts, the Andy Gard Jeep is a whole different animal. While there were large Jeeps made by other companies, the biggest distinguishing feature of the Andy Gard Jeep was its open grill in front - all others were solid castings with the grill filled in. The Jeep measures: 6.5" (16.51cm) L x 3" (7.62cm) W x 1.875" (4.76cm) H (to top of hood). Enjoy! Opa Fritz

The windshield is hinged allowing it to fold down

We all know Jeeps were small vehicles, but MPC and Andy Gard decided to put theirs on steroids! Good grief, look how small that recast driver looks in the seat!

Both Andy Gard (L) and MPC (R) are comparable in size. Andy Gard never made a tarp for its Jeep.

Kleeware Knock-off Mini-Army Truck - Pt 6 Humber Type 2D Body Rocket Launcher

Before I start the next round of spacemen, a few days (week? month?) will be devoted to more of these Army mini-trucks, as wells as catching up on some other subjects.

This next truck is the last of this particular series of five trucks I bought some years back. The next series of trucks will have noticeable differences but hey, we'll get to that when the time comes. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

Obviously, this is a rocket launcher that doesn't actually launch rockets. As a fatter-of-mact, none of these trucks are operating: none of them fire bullets, ammo, rockets, missiles, etc. Still, as a kid, these provided endless (and cheap) fun!

Kleeware Knock-off Mini-Army Truck - Pt 5 Humber Type 2B Body Nebelwerfer

I went ahead and called this a 'Nebelwerfer' truck because that's what it resembles in my mind. I know the Allies had multiple rocket launchers - especially ones fitted to Sherman tanks during WWII - but I couldn't find photos of any, so I went with the Germen 'Nebelwerfer' designation. Enjoy!
