Bundesgrenzschutz transport
« on: February 16, 2025, 08:37:25 AM »
More transport options for my Bundesgrenzschutz, hot wheels VW, when the weather warms up I will print more traditional VW hub wheels. One more car and one helicopter to complete my Bundesgrenschutz unit









Cheers

Those are Hot Wheels, with EMPI style custom wheels; lovely conversion back to what they should be!

Indeed, they look good.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Cheers chaps enjoyed painting these as a break.

Matt, are they Hot Wheels pieces?

Yes Hot Wheels, the VW pack, I purchased two 4 vehicle packs, the remainder will join Bundeswehr and civilian stuff and one for a Lebanon army ZSU AA I think.

Cheers
Matt

Lovely rides! Is that colour a bit tending to olive or is it my screen? Bundesgrenzschutz used RAL 6012 Schwarzgrün (blackish green) much like the WW2 Luftwaffe RLM 70.
