Good research Bob. By the way the Airfix tank is a Centurion not a Churchill. They were just too late to see action in WW2 but did very well in Korea and in Israel. Hope you're feeling better soon.

Hopefully feeling better soon Bob, interesting vid, think tanks look like M103’s maybe 😊

Sorry that you are not feeling well, been wondering what you have been up to lately. Happy 4th of July Bob, and hope you and your family have a great day today. Hope you recover from your illness soon. Be well.

THanks bruce., both the old lady and I got hit pretty bad, her worse than I. At least I was able to get around she was bedridden for several days. The research for the video was interesting, I learned that T Cohn (Superior) put out a lot more very cool military and western toy sets than I thought. Some of those sets are really hard to find these days, The Marine Base and the Naval Base. The Battle Ground set (The answer to Marx's Battle GRound Set) is extremely tough to find intact. They used the smaller tanks and the Monogram/Marx knock offs in green and grey, some even have the Lido Soldiers in the green and grey as well. I wanted to throw a bit more info like this into the video but my head was killing me and that nasal drip thing was just too much to deal with. Happy 4rth :)

@@robertgagne2388 Thanks for the additional info. I had not heard of the T COHN sets.. maybe it was after my time as a kid. I had the Marx BG set along with many of a the other Marx sets, like the ACW, ARW, even a Zorro set with Don Diego and dozens of Mexican soldiers.. All brings back great memories. Hope you and wife are over whatever you had, sounds very nasty. Wishing you and the family good health and happiness on this 4th of July.
