sfostermammoth Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Greetings, I worked in Thailand for 10 years before taking semi-retirement from the oil industry. While in Bangkok I purchased a scale model, all steel, M24 Chaffee tank at the Chatuchak Weekend flea market in 1998. The hatch opens, the track and wheels move, etc. I do not know the origin of the model. Perhaps it was a gift to the Thai military from the manufacturer or the US Army. The model is very detailed, with all the hand grips, antennas, storage boxes, etc, and looks fairly old. Any information you may have would be welcome.
