Here's some package photos and the new Tim Mee Toy Universal Sticker sheet that will be included in the upcoming OD Green and Gray Rescue 'Copters and many of the wheeled vehicles. Changes include new medical stickers and black letter serial numbers that look better with all the different colors. I also added some extra flags and stars so only one sheet will be needed for the Deuce-and-a-Half Cargo Trucks:
More new Tim Mee Toy items expected to arrive late June include:

• Tim Mee Bucket of Soldiers 54pc OD/Tan/Gray
• Tim Mee Bucket of Soldiers 54pc Tan/OD/Brown
• Tim Mee DK Novelties WW2 GIs 28pc Gray

This initial Pennsylvania production run of the OD Green & Tan modern armored cars are being assembled with NOS axle assemblies. I tested out wheel assembly for the smaller Tim Mee Army vehicles with some new sample axles and wheels in several different plastic materials. The results weren't satisfactory so the machine shop is making some more axles this week with different machining on the end. I spoke with the owner of the machine shop that made axles for Processed Plastic Co. He built the special machine that made the double headed axles and everyone who ran it is retired so right now it's uncertain if we'll be able to get them made. In the meantime I've requested sample straight axles sized for the Hercules AC-130 in case the double-headed axles aren't feasible in the near future. Here's the pneumatic axle assembly tool:

I'm still working hard on production orders for 2023 and trying to stay one step ahead of the factory with the package art. This is taking priority over new product content so you may see some gaps in new photos and product pages over the summer. 

Have a safe and reflective Memorial Day,
