That set like the two AZW Sets ( The guns escaping and the hospital wagon under attack) is a wonder of this century's output from WB and does not get enough love and attention.

That set like the two AZW Sets ( The guns escaping and the hospital wagon under attack) is a wonder of this century's output from WB and does not get enough love and attention.

I have all three of the above mentioned sets and would agree that for me they represent the height of WB production over the past 20 years.

I ordered my Nile boat from MKL as I emigrated to New Zealand. It was a happy coincidence that when it was shipped I saved 20% in VAT, got free shipping and had no customs charges. Considering the price in the Armoury shop was £950 at the time mine at £600 felt like a bargain.

But those days are long gone and manufacturers costs would probably prohibit such an item being produced now.
