Default Interesting site - new to me...

When I saw some of the parts they have I immediately thought 'source material' ! Nice to see
details on what I'm sure many folks see as mundane parts. They even have a Valentine track link..

Some examples:

http://relicsww2.com/index.php?route...product_id=479

Just photos like this you won't even see in the best of museums:

http://relicsww2.com/index.php?route...product_id=711

Basically that photo all by itself just invalidated my pattern work for that part I made for my 1/10 KT..... :- (

I'd probably pop a woody if I had the chance to wander around their inventory with a camera and measuring scale....

It would have been amazing to wander the countryside a few years after the war, offering to haul away all the 'scrap' that was laying in fields and on the side of the roads.

A person with foresight could have built a nice retirement fund in track links alone.
