APC Construction Instruction


What do you mean the bulldozer does not need to be assembled! It's been sitting here for weeks marked, "Waiting For Assembly" and now you tell me it is ready to go!?!




Careful with those instructions, we are going to need those if we are going to put together something this complicated.

"Security Patrol Able checking in, interior assembly floor all secure." Large warehouses require tight security in times of national crisis. Those Reds are clever and they might try anything to disrupt our defenses.

Okay, the instructions say to insert TAB A at top of TRACK ASSEMBLY B into slots at side of APC HULL C...



Complex military equipment must pass inspections at every step of the assembly process to insure our boys only get the best gear we can make for them. Nuttin's too good for our fight'n' men.

Ring hand figures by MPC and so are the vehicles. The vehicles are recasts, brand new made from original molds. The ring hand figures are original and all thirty to fifty years old. Furniture is recast from Marx, from their Untouchables range, based on the TV series about crime fighters.
Military vehicles are often shipped from the maker to warehouses where they can sit for month, years, even decades before they are needed. Sometimes they go straight from warehouse to scrap house if they were never called on before they were obsolete. War, even Cold War, is very wasteful, but necessary sometimes to defend our freedom and our way of life.
When a unit requires a new item of equipment, either because of a change in organization, destruction of vehicle due to enemy action, sabotage, or accident, or simply worn out the warehouse will prepare the vehicle and it will be shipped out. Sometimes directly to the unit and sometimes to a depot where weapons may be installed, or it may get a special paint job or markings applied.
