MPC First Aid Tent - Gray and OD HP

Here's another MPC stand-alone post, that is, at the moment I have no playset associated with this particular toy.  It's a great addition to the other tents that came with MPC playsets but it's a tad pricey on today's market. Fortunately, quality repos are available for a reasonable price. Several of these can be placed together to form a M.A.S.H. compound. While MPC didn't make medic figures to go with this Tim-Mee did. Tim-Mee's was a nice set with patient, stretcher, stretcher bearers, nurse holding I.V. bottle and even a little dog! The tent is a gray hard plastic base and poles and hard plastic OD top and measures 5 5/8" (14.28cm) W x 6 1/2" (16.51cm) D (including stairs) x 4 1/4" (10.79cm) H to top of tent, not to top of flag.

My sample is missing one HP pole.

The stretcher fits onto one of the pegs on the floor while the cot  fits into raised slots on the floor

There are two basic stretcher designs in MPC sets. The shorter blue one to the right is the more common of the two.

MPC Army Tents

Because your Little Green Army Men need a place to huddle when it's raining, today we're featuring two Army tents which were a fairly common inclusion in MPC's range of Little Green Army Man playsets. Both of them consist of a tent top with simulated rolled up sides, and four ribbed poles (which are often times missing). In point of fact, MPC made a third tent, a First Aid tent, that is not as common as the other two and won't be presented here for a while (there's a method to my madness in this most recent series of MPC Army toys so bear with me). One of the tents is plain while the other is marked "HQ 351st INFANTRY" on one roof panel. These also came in other colors and markings for inclusion in MPC American Civil War playsets, but right now we're featuring modern era military toys. The tents measure 5 1/2" (13.97cm) L x 4 5/8" (11.74cm) W x 3 1/2" (8.89cm) H. Enjoy! Opa Fritz and Oma Bettina
