BMC Toys Production: Tanks' for all the help

Posted by Jeff Imel on

The new batch of BMC Toys is almost ready. We often think that plastic items like toy soldiers and tanks are churned out by machines, but there's a surprising amount handwork that often has to be done to finish the item. Here's some photos of the BMC Toys tank in production, starting with Sherman Tank bodies getting trimmed off sprues:BMC Toys Sherman Tank Trimming

  • Any chance to produce tanks in 1:18 scale?

  • Hi BMC I have just purchased my king Tiger and I love it. Do you do anymore of the tanks that the Germans used during the War? Such as the Panser 4?
