In the search for cheap "Hollywood style" tanks for use in the VBCW, there are the occasional frustrations. So this is a short post about "the one which got away" - the Mundus 609 plastic tank:
 |
| A treasury - nine mint Mundus 609 plastic tanks in their original boxes. Picture from an auction lot some twelve years ago - well before the Hereford VBCW was 'in the market' for such "60s plastic toys". A rough idea of size can be obtained from the accompanying 54mm figures. |
The problem with the "Mundus 609" tank is not so much that "it got away"; rather, that it seems pretty impossible to find at all. This is particularly annoying as it is known to have a length of 9cm, which makes it wholly compatible with other VBCW "Hollywood tanks".
Obviously, in historical terms, the Mundus 609 is of a completely unrecognisable design - but arguably, that makes it even better from a VBCW viewpoint. So we shall just have to plug away looking for them - if anybody reading this post has one, or knows where to find them, then please leave a comment below!
