Back from going to the mall with my family. I forgot to ask about FJ but I have a feeling they're coming.
In no special order here goes,
Limited Editions
There will not be one until July and Andy doesn't see more than three this year. He wouldn't say what they would be. He was asked about a Napoleonics Limited Edition. Andy didn't say no but he didn't say yes either. He said this is something they would like to do, so nothing in the near future.
K & C will not produce a M3 Grant a la Monty. He thinks FOV does a great job and he doesn't want to duplicate that. Speaking of FOV, he thinks they do a great job with many of the more common single engine fighters (he said he and Gordon had many in their collection) so I don't see this as something they will do.
Arnhem
There will be no German sets. Andy feels he has made enough other German sets that you can use in Arnhem so he wants to exclusively focus on the Airborne.
He said that this will not be the only Arnhem sets they will do so we can look for more next year.
World War One
More German in action poses later this year, to be eventually followed by French in the future, Belgiums (!), Commonwealth (not sure whether he said UK or other nationalities) and Americans. He eventually envisions tanks, airplanes, etc.
If the looks of the troops that Andy had on display are any indication, this is going to be a fantastic range. I'm very excited about it.
Battle of the Bulge
Later this year, presumably to be issued on schedules similar to 2005 and 2006.
Fields of Battle
He would like to do other campaigns besides Dunkirk but no concrete plans yet in mind.
Airplanes
Andy had hoped that the Storch would have been out already but it's not quite ready and he's planning on visiting the factory that is going to make them when he gets. I think he said July timeframe for release. The price point will be $199 to $299. I don't know if anybody asked about other planes from what he calls factory produced planes.
Regarding what he calls the Connoisseur planes, he is still formalizing his plans on distribution. However, he's going require a fifty percent deposit. So, if your name is picked for a plane, you will need to ante up. He will be doing between 10 to 20 of each. I believe the first two will be Typhoons and ME 110s with different markings than those already issued. I saw both of these planes and they are stunning. The see through cockpit (with clearly visible instrument panel) in the Typhoon is amazing as is the paint job and they are heavy. Andy envisions as a ballpark figure and don't hold me or him to this that shipping for one would be $75.
Andy didn't give details about what would happen if more people wanted planes than were proposed to be made. However, he said he wouldn't make more than 20. I'm sure details will be forthcoming. When, I couldn't say exactly, so we all need to be patient. Andy also did not say what planes would be made after the Typhoons and ME 110s. I'm sure details will eventually be forthcoming about them too. Sign up will be promoted through the Forum, the King and Country website and K & C dealer.
As mentioned previously, this is a very small factory of three people (father and two sons) and he doesn't want to sacrifice quality for speed. Apparently, the father had worked at a workshop that made warbirds for Andy previously so Andy and Gordon said let's give them a try. When they get the models back, they were stunned. They had never expected clear cockpits with the instrument panels.
In addition, they never expected the interest in these planes that has developed.
I'll try to answer any other questions about subjects that may have been discussed.
