Three Ultimate Soldier/21st Century Toys vehicles with a single vintage GI Joe vehicle.
Starting off are the VW bugs. Different bodies but were basically the same VW bug that was so popular in the 1960s and 70s. First is the Kubelwagen (released by VW later as The Thing) and the Schimwagen. I am not looking up the spelling on these so close enough. All bugs can float but the Schimwagen was made for it with a propeller and no door to let in water. Plus it has oars just in case.
Next are the motorcycles. First is the Kettenkrad wich is a tracked motorcycle. Few Germans could drive a car but many could drive a motorcycle. It was handy for pulling small loads through mud.
Last is the motorcycle with sidecar made by Irwin. These were made for Hasbro as they couldn't make blow mold vehicles. Not nearly as nice as the Hasbro made vehicles but they were inexpensive yet sketchy.
Nice non-Aryan recruit in the floater..
I guess he would scare the life out of the enemy in case the guns failed.
Very cool post....were these modeled after authentic German military vehicles? Not fantasy pieces?
I had no idea such vehicles existed....my ideas were limited to tanks and jeeps.
Love that sidecar motorcycle, all are great
Thank you very much kwqd. It is Dr Evil.
Thank you very much Watchsearcher. You shall see on my latest post they are all real. Jeeps were better than these thus jeeps are lasted longer than WWII.
And thank you very much Newfld.
But Jeep is such a boring name, who cares if they were a better vehicle and loads of fun.
I would like to own one of the German ones just to say their name.
Thank you very much racer4four. Have fun with your kettenkrad.
