Hey Guys...
Just came home from my local Target and found a bargain I'd like to pass along........
Target is selling on clearance their entire collection of "Forces of Valor - Macho Machines" military vehicles for just over $2, which is about $1 off their normal price. The M1126 Stryker ICV is almost a perfect 1:160 scale vehicle and fits on most flatbed cars. I've built some "test" loads of two Stryker vehicles on a standard 53' Athearn flatbed and they look great. The wheels of the vehicle don't turn, which in this case is a good thing, since it keeps them firmly in place on the flatbed with the help of a tiny amount of double stick tape.
They also have several M1A1 Abrams tanks in desert colors that are slightly larger than 1:160, but not by much, and also make a good looking load on a flatbed car. They too are on sale.
Both vehicles are very nicely detailed, and for this price, you'd be hard pressed to find better.
Get 'em now before they're gone.
