The dog days of summer are here, especially in the Lone Star State. So while most of us outside the upper Midwest are hiding inside under air conditioning, it might be just the time to check out some cool summer die cast deals.
Looking to the hot pavement or dry dusty trails, we again feature two AFVs from different military eras. In chronological order, the first is a Corgi German Sd. Kfz. 7 at 1:50 scale from their History Channel series. It is offered by Diecast Direct for $19.99 and can be one half of a buy 2 and get 1 free shopping trip. You can see it awaiting a load here:
