Erwin Sell found some interesting armor from Poland here is what he said.
I was send by another Bulgarian seller two boxes armored vehicles made in Poland of same type I posted long ago from me in original cases. The case is of the same PT-76 I had previews show and said out side (czolg plywajacy ) that translate as amphibious scout tank or just amphibious tank.
As you can see the one box show the other models apparently made outside of same armored vehicles era series.
I do have a big interest on these as very simple accurate 1.32 scale all plastic and post WW2 era ,many used in Vietnam and other conflict by foes or else. So far I had found and got plenty same and T55 tank but none other.
Interesting note as far I had found ,only Bulgarian sellers had sold these vehicles (5 so far) ,not from Poland. Wonder why this had happen?
and it is a curiosity to me …
I forgot to add ,factory name (SPOJNIA)
The wheeled vehicle pictured on the box is the “SKOT” which I was looking for after I got a PT-76 in a box till I was told by Polish collector it was never made which really chafed my chaps,LOL.
Brian .
I was told it was indeed done by another Polish collectors who I just wrote no long ago ,this PT76,the T55,the OT-64 SKOT and the BTR 50 showed were done.
No long ago I saw the BTR 50 on sale with box but went for big $$$.Again from another Bulgarian seller!!.I had not see any OT yet
So apparently either were few sold in Poland and x long sold in Bulgaria or not polish want to sale it yet!!LOL!!
Any how they used T54/55 tracks and wheels x all, so not that accurate..
I’d picked some of these up in Poland in 1992 at a flea market in Warsaw. Once I started really getting into collecting, I originally focused on WWII only and sold mine to a dealer who was mildly curious. I wonder how much he got for them when he sold them off. This was about 1994 when I really decided it was OK to buy toys. I can’t believe I ever had that inner conflict. No going back now!
GREG:So did you actually see a “SKOT” or were they just the Tanks?
No, Brian. To be clear, I only had the PT-76 and T-55.
I particular have not interest in the OT-64 as not much used and not involved in any main conflict. I like the others as like the BT-76 and T54/55 were used in good quantities in Viet Nam with plenty of historical corroboration and other later conflict as well too.
Now I have enough armor to do action such as Battle of Ben Het, attack on LANG VEI special forces camp and many other action.
The NVA was supplied from mid 60 till 1974 with over 350 of then plus over 100 cloned Chinese version (Type 63) and over 400 T54/55 tanks. Both proved to be quite good opponents even most time drove with undertrained crews that resulted in poor tactics and losses. The BT -76 amphibious capability was very well suitable and great for low wet lands of Vietnam .
