I think this may have been discusse dbefore a wee while ago, but what about if King and Country made WW2 sets that they paint a Summer version of, and then another Winter version of?
Like when they did the old Germans for the Stalingrad range?

Just like they did with the M24 Chaffee Tank?
Or the newer Sd. Kfz. 251/22 Pakwagen Ausf. D ?

Think this would really appeal to collectors, as some of the Winter sets would look great as Summer sets I think

Think the destryoed Sherman would be a nice Summer piece?
Just like Alex Prieto did?

Only Andy would know if the dual season items both sell, but I think that it would be a good idea, as I do not collect any winterized stuff...Michael

the wounded sherman set is really different & would be a must have for me if it was released in a summer version i would buy the winter version but at the moment i only have D-Day british & 8th Army sets so wouldn't have any way of displaying it

I really like the battle damaged winter Sherman. I would really like a summer/Normandy edition. However, I am not a fan of the re-paints. I would prefer that K/C not simply re-paint a vehicle or figure, I like the distinctness found in different posses or versions rather than different paint schemes.

i agree but a damaged summer sherman would be good if they place the damage at a different point of the body of the tank? & it had different figures with it maybe a british crew?

Just because a vehicle was in winter combat, doesn't necessarily mean it was painted white,,,

That is very true. We already have several K&C (Hertzer, Winter Hummel) and some US pieces which have no whitewash but the figures with them are in winter clothing including some German white camo clothing.
