Question about Lanard APC

[klausbrazil]

I have some APCs from the toy manufaturer Lanard like the one in the attached picture. Can somebody tell whether that is a pure phantasy car or whether it represents an APC actually produced?

It looks like it was meant to mimic the classic 1980s' GI Joe APC. I like some of the older The corps vehicles, I wish they'd go back to selling those.

If there is a real world counter part it's probably European in origin.

It takes the design features of any number of wheeled IFVs, the Fuchs and VAB among them.

you should hang on to those Lanard APCs. I wish I had got some when I was kid, but at least I managed to get one of those Humvees with the two machine guns on top.

I have a couple of Lanard vehicles (found them @ thrift stores for dirt cheap) - I am surprised w/ the amount of detail they put into these ficticious designs... I'd like to find some more... w/ the addition of some better detailed weaponry they make killer pieces...

There is one old Lanard vehicle I really want to get, but they're so inexplicably rare for some reason. It is painted in a sort of blue camo scheme and has the base chassis similar to a modern day MLRS system. It has a machine gun on top the canopy that makes it vaguely reminiscent of the of ww2 priest. It's weapon system is four electronic missiles connected on the back. The coolest thing about it is that it has REAL working treads.

they alternate which of the corps vehicles are available online. I have a few of them, but still havent got round to using the running gear for customs yet...

dont know if they ship to the US, or wherever you are, but if they dont we could always do a trade if you want?

[lancelot]

Damn it, Europe gets all the cool toys. They even got some newer Chap Mei stuff that the states didn't.

Hey Lancelot,
