As another attendee at Saturday's show and visitor to King and Country's display I would just like to second those sentiments.

At last the wait is over! The Damlier armoured car finally appears in NW Europe markings! To with I (and the new Comet) how about a new Monty figure for winter 1944? How about a Monty receiving the German surrender on Luneberg Heath set (to balance the Singapore surrender set)?

Is that bill millin the piper I don't think so. Bill Millin in Normandy was Lord Lovat's piper and wore a commando beret. The new British "Bulge" infantry appear to be from the 5th Infantry Div (judging by the "Y" insignia). The division arrived in North-West Europe, from Italy, in March 1945...

The model looks superb. In 11h Armd Div markings.

I've hoped for ages that K & C would eventually do "Bulge" British, so great to see these leather jerkined figures make their appearance! Also a Comet, an added bonus, although when the Germans attacked in December those troops in the process of being issued with Comets immediately retrieved...

There is an actual Tunisian Tiger at the Bovington tank Museum.

Stick to late 44-early 1945. Add some British/Canadian/Poles. Also some heavy weapons support for US and Germans - MG teams, mortars.

Andy - very many thanks for posting a video on YouTube showing how the crane assembly fits on to the vehicle. Looks alot more straightforward than I first feared! Much appreciated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OT0yXDyk20A

I hope you are right. I think they say the same about Ikea furniture!

The Bergepanther looks very impressive - as does its crew which can go with any other late war panzers. Perhaps K & C could post a short explanatory video showing how the crane is fitted to the vehicle which would be particularly helpful.

I think the para with the Bren in the photo is being a bit hopeful! Where's the PIAT gone?

If you look at photos of British soldiers involved in the BotB they are usually wearing overcoats or white coveralls. So are these new figures Normandy period infantry or later in the campaign? I am hoping that these figures can be used to represent British infantry fighting in the Reichswald...

Looks like the early version of the Bergepanther. The Comet looks superb. Hope that some of the new british infantry are wearing leather jerkins - that would be a nice touch. The Comet was too late for the Bulge but would be great for the Reichswald.

A Comet tank! Great news!

Kesselring must be a bit baffled by being confronted by two Rommels!

I presume most of us collect "toy/model" soldiers for pleasure. The best way for that is to have them on display (or "play" with them) in one form of another. I do not have the space to display all my collection so I ring the changes from time to time and, if I still have them, use the original...

Full marks to K & C for their prompt and generous action in this matter - I'm impressed!

Of course. in extremis infantry could, and were be pressed into service to man artillery pieces. However, when you consider the truly vast amount of cheap, easily accessable reference material that is out there on the German armed forces in WWII, I am surprised that error was not spotted during...

The "coastal gunners" sets have the same error. I was hoping that was a one-off mistake.

WH056 “Pz.Kpfw. 35R(F)SPG” is an interesting vehicle as it was one of the few types of German AFVs to serve on British soil during World War II as some were attached to the Channel Islands garrison during the German occupation, 1940-45
