    Per Ardua Ad Astra

    Wow...the big bowser looks especially impressive next to the smaller one (whether it's an earlier model or a prototype). It's also helpful to see it next to the ambulance and the Spitfire to get a gauge of its relative size. One question/request - will there be a stretcher party (or something...

    Forthcoming and fifth Dispatches of 2011

    I certainly do, Rob. And the likely increase in the number of retirements make holding off on purchases until dispatches even more of a necessity for me. I'm thinking of purchasing a number of things - the AK Panzer III, the Grant, the Normandy Village piece, maybe even some of the Italian...

    Forthcoming and fifth Dispatches of 2011

    Rob, are you putting this thread up earlier than usual? I'm not asking as a criticism...for me it's never to early to start speculating about the next dispatches:) The Typhoon seem very likely to me because it both fits Andy's announced Warbird production schedule and because it fits the June...

    How about some 8th army?

    Wow, talk about a great response. You've given me more incentive to pick up your DAK pieces until the desert allies arrive:)

    How about some 8th army?

    Don't get me wrong, I love the talk of new DAK vehicles and artillery, but I wish CS would make some opposition. North Africa seems to be the only theater CS covers that lacks Allied representation. A Desert Sherman, for example, could be made using existing sculpts, and wouldn't have very...

    17 Days till

    From Andy's last post on the subject: "On the immediate upcoming production schedule we have (VIII) Messerschmitt 262 (IX) P47 Thunderbolt (X) Hawker Typhoon And let’s not forget… Junkers 87 “Stuka” P38 Lightning F4U Corsair F6F Hellcat Messerschmitt 109 “E” Mitsubishi Zero" I would expect the...

    He219

    While I imagine the price and size will be up there, this will be hard to turn down. Looks like manufacturers are trying to one up each other with planes lately and we're the winners.

    Indentification?

    Is this the only Panzer I that K&C has made? I haven't been in the hobby as long as most of you but I can't ever remember seeing a K&C Panzer I for sale, retired or not. I'd also love to know what changed between Panzers I and II, they look quite similar.

    Two Down and One to go…

    Thanks Mario! I wonder if it would be possible to produce one in polystone. Count me if they do.

    Two Down and One to go…

    Thanks for posting these Gordon, they look great. A question - what's the aircraft in the bottom picture? Is it an upcoming K&C Warbird? Polystone or Wood? My hope is that whatever dispatch these appear in, it's at the same time as whatever the first desert RAF plane (and ground crew?) is...

    Elite series

    I just bought the para as well in anticipation of the Help for Heroes vignette. I'm hoping it leads to more modern figures...especially some Afghan or Iraqi opposition.

    Attention Rick Radio check over.

    I like think Rick is skipping over the V3 all the way to Werner Von Braun's contribution to the Apollo program. Talk about Shock and Awe!

    New Mobile Version of Forum

    Since I was critical of the sluggish load times of the first revamped site, I should say that a) that aspect has improved and b) I'm enjoying the new site tremendously. "What's New" has been a particularly welcome feature. I'll have to try the new mobile viewer, if I haven't already...it seems...

    Your top 10 items which you personally would like to see in the next 12 months!

    Okay, less than realistic wishes: 1. A continuation of the Special Forces Line. 2. Anything having to do with the Arab/Israeli Wars (Independence, 6 Day War, Yom Kippur War) 3. A Vlad the Impaler line...while we call the MK line The Crusades, a) it technically stands for Medieval Knights (okay...

    Production cutbacks

    The cutbacks will probably affect my buying habits, as have the price increases and my general anxiety about the economy/financial limits. But as much as I'd like to own everything, I trust that these were all necessary decisions by Andy for K&C and don't see anything sinister here at all...

    Forthcoming and fourth dispatches of 2011

    Didn't think of that. When was the last time there was a month without an AFV? If it's Arnhem, maybe some XXX Corps armor? I'd love to see an armored command vehicle like the one Michael Caine rode in a Bridge Too Far.

    Forthcoming and fourth dispatches of 2011

    Sorry to burst anyone's bubble - and I hope I'm wrong - but since the P-47 is coming out in May, I'd have a hard time imagining we'll see any other Warbirds in the next Dispatches. It seems to me that, although the P-47 is USAF and the Typhoon is RAF, you are hitting up the same customer for...

    Figarti-Karl Morsher Railway Carrier-Assembly Instructions

    Thanks to Figarti for the instructions and to Carlos for posting them. Unfortunately, for me they came too little, too late, and I know have a broken Rail Carrier. Although to be honest, I don't know if the instructions would have prevented the breakage. The rail carrier and the Karl are both...

    New Modern Brits?

    ****, sorry about that. I haven't seen them for sale anywhere. If anyone knows where I could find them, please let me know.

    USN / USMC series - a dead end?

    Good to hear that Andy told yet another source there is opposition on the way. I wonder whether making Nationalist Chinese figures in Communist China would be possible (were the Figarti figures Nationalist or Communist?). Oh, and I'm all for a big bar brawl as in Sand Pebbles. We already have...
