Subject: [SG2]matchbox vehicle alert

During my weekly scrounge of the local toystore I came across V22 Ospreys,
perfect SG2 size under the guise of Mssion Bravo Sky Scortcher. (Orange box)
Maybe 6-7" long, with rotating tilt rotars (it actually opens up into
something else that fires missles).

I bought one at 9.99 but I figure on buying another for those assault lander
or extraction scenarios. You can even kitbash the rotars off and make an
interface lander out of it pretty easily. A primer of black and your wn paint
job. Only you and your local toy store proprietor will know the difference.

Yes I picked up one of these, very nice, may have to pick up another. For 25mm
it makes a nice squad transport. For 15mm heck it could carry a platoon.

Let's not get into 6mm.. <grin>

Hmm.. I've yet to see any of them.

I use the Hummers and the Bradleys with 20mm plastics and they work fine. The
Ambrams is hopeless physically smaller than the Bradleys, I have bought a pack
of vehicles with a tiny Apach helicopter a good Hummber a good Bradley a
usable but really a little too large jeep (20 mm) and a non-descript LUV

truck and the useless Abrams for like 3.99 a Wally World. O have used the
helicopter as a gargantuan cargo chopper for 6mm, but it is still a little too
large.
