Description
A collection of 15 DeAgostini ‚The Combat Tanks Collection‘ miniature military vehicle models. The lot comprises 15 miniature military vehicle models, primarily tanks, self-propelled guns, and armored cars, each housed within a clear plastic display case atop a black base. Crafted from die-cast metal and plastic, these realistic scale models feature various camouflage paint schemes. Each display base includes a label identifying the specific vehicle, its unit, location, and a year, predominantly ranging from 1940 to 1945, with a few extending into the 1970s, indicating a focus on World War II and early Cold War periods. One Soviet KV-1E tank model clearly displays the Cyrillic text „БЕЙ ФАШИСТСКУЮ ГАДИНУ!“, which translates to „Strike the Fascist Viper!“. Accompanying the models is a large, green-covered book titled „THE COMBAT TANKS COLLECTION“ by D’Agostini, described as featuring „PRECISION MODELS • MILITARY HISTORY • TECHNICAL DATA“ and marked „46“ on its spine.
