John Kettler Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Behold the case of a police raid in Brazil which could've been catastrophic for the officers involved. Vicious dogs reasonably likely? Check. Go with the territory, but no one ever expected to find not one but two... Seems like something out of a weirder than usual Hollywood comedy film pitch.

Michael Emrys Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Tank looks familiar, like early '50s but I haven't got time right now to go searching for it. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Emrys Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 M-41 Walker Bulldog That's the one! I couldn't think of the name to save my life. Thanks. I remember seeing ads for models of it and a lot of contemporary vehicles, such as the M46 Patton in magazines back around the time of the Korean War or a little later.

John Kettler Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) Stalins Organ, You are correct, sir. Many moons (not Moons) ago, brother Ed received a cool Walker Bulldog tank toy for Christmas. Not only was it battery powered, but it had a lever on the rear deck which, when pushed forward, cocked and fired the gun which fired plastic "shells" at impressive velocities. Want to say the maker was REMCO. Believe there was also a Renwal Walker Bulldog kit. Man, were those kits detailed--long before detailing really existed. At one time, I had an M42 Duster. (a bit of digging later) And here's the cover of the now confirmed Renwal M41 Walker bulldog model. This collector's site (best I can tell not selling anything) itself is grog central, with a superabundance of goodies, including the splendid AFV Profiles.
