    The M18 Hellcat has Arrived!

    Thank you everyone for all the kind comments and likes 😃 Echoing Rob’s post, the new crew figure is a creative one for sure. He definitely looks like he’s wearing a hoodie and up to no good, lol; or he’s just tired of war and wants to close himself off to the world

    The M18 Hellcat has Arrived!

    I received my M18 Hellcat on Saturday and I’ve got to say, Britains has done an amazing job on this tank destroyer! The model is beautifully detailed and the stowage looks fantastic. The real treat, however, is the fully detailed turret interior. You can fit some of the existing Britains tank...

    Vietnam Rocks

    Personally, when it comes to Hueys in Vietnam, while Fortunate Son comes directly to mind; I also can’t leave out the prelude to Act 3 of Richard Wagner’s opera, Die Walküre, more popularly known as “Ride of the Valkyries” 😉 That said, I’m looking forward to the K&C Huey and anticipate it to be...

    Ice Road Repairs

    Looking great, Rob! The cold vibe of your scene is perfect for an excessively warm summer day like today.

    JUNE WARBIRDS

    Jumper, the pilots and ground crew figures in my diorama with the HS-132 are all older Thomas Gunn figures. They’re a little harder to find these days, but some retailers may still have some and there’s always eBay as well.

    SPAD S.XIII Diorama

    Looking good, Corey! That Spad certainly is flashy (and patriotic). Great display for the 4th of July!

    JUNE WARBIRDS

    Thank you, MLH13 😃 But I’ve got to give a shout out to Thomas Gunn Miniatures for making such quality products. Their mahogany wood aircraft models are first rate.

    King & Country Dispatches -- July 2024

    And here I was thinking about scaling back on my K&C collection and you decide to release a couple fantastic Hueys (that make the TCS version look like junk) and then announce the new Mogadishu range as well! All very, very tempting…

    News Update July 1st, 2024 - Second World War

    NZGary, John’s Mustang came out in October 2020, so nearly 4 years ago. The model has long since been retired, though perhaps there will be another repaint eventually. The model is decent, but is not John’s best work (IMHO). Still it will be great to have the ground crew and pilots for it!

    News Update July 1st, 2024 - Second World War

    Great to see these figures will finally be released, albeit some 4 years after the P-51 model came out, way back in 2020… Nevertheless, the figures look fantastic and it will be great to have some USAAF ground crew and seated pilots in proper 1/30 scale. Also, very sorry to hear about...

    Preflight Briefing… Prepping a Henschel HS-132 for its Next Mission

    Thanks Rob! I love the TGM Luftwaffe 1946 range aircraft models as they are incredibly unique. I’ve long been fascinated with the German late war concept aircraft ever since watching a documentary about them on the History Channel in the late 1990s. It’s amazing how far ahead the designs were...

    New products from WARPARK.

    The new Tiger tank looks awesome as does the DAK Zundapp bike and riders. I’ll be down for both. However, like Jazzeum said, it would be nice to see some figures and vehicles from the Western Allies at some point (though I know those aren’t as popular as the Germans in War Park’s primary market...

    Preflight Briefing… Prepping a Henschel HS-132 for its Next Mission

    I received the latest version of the Henschel HS-132 model from Thomas Gunn Miniatures last week (they ship fast!) It’s a fantastic model of an obscure aircraft that very nearly saw service at the end of WWII. I’ve got my model in a simple scene with some older TGM Luftwaffe pilot figures...

    Breakfast Club

    Great pic, Rob! The TGM figures, Last Post Miniatures rubble, and the Kettenkrad all go together perfectly! Feels nice and cold 😎

    Riding a Wolverine… The New U.S. Tank Riders

    Some pics of First Legion’s new Battle of the Bulge US tank riders on the winter M10 Wolverine. My pics aren’t quite as artistic as Issac’s, but hopefully provide a good rendering of these fantastic figures in action 😎

    Winter Jagdpanzer IV Diorama

    joesigs, I also thought FL’s response yesterday was interesting as I’d already determined by that point that the tracks/rack were one piece, not two separate parts. The spare tracks on their recent Panzer III are separate pieces; not the Jagdpanzer. I find it interesting that the tracks were...

    Winter Jagdpanzer IV Diorama

    Still getting the hang of reposting here, but I was able to correct the tracks on the Jagdpanzer IV. It was a process though… First, the spare tracks and rack are all one piece, as I suspected. They are not two separate parts like the spare tracks on First Legion’s Panzer III L model. The...

    First Legion WW2 Kharkov SS Germans

    Great news on the possibility of another British tank and hopefully its not a Sherman variant, but something authentically British like a Churchill, Cromwell, Comet, or even a Centurion (an Israeli Centurion would be the perfect pairing for the T-62 tank!)

    Winter Jagdpanzer IV Diorama

    Thanks! I’ll have to give that a try when I get home. I’m hoping the fix is as easy as you’re saying… Glad to hear you’ll inspect and correct the upcoming NOR101 Jagdpanzers as well. I’ve got one of those on order as well. And just to reiterate, apart from the spare tracks issue, the painting...
