Hi Guys,

Just a little look at some “work-in-progress”...Here you see a whole lot of GIs about to board their trucks and move off to their embarcation ports for the journey across the channel to Normandy and D.Day.

The soldiers are all white metal...the trucks are all-metal “tinplate”. Hope you like ‘em!

All the best and happy collecting,

Andy C.​

Hi Andy is this what you mentioned else where to keep a eye out for ??
 
Always good to see a manufacturer exploring ways to balance price/quality/materials. I hope that K&C are rewarded for that effort.

Jack price of the trucks will be the deal breaker !?
 
Andy,

Thanks for showing the truck to me last week when I called into your office.

Looked good then along with other vehicle and looks even better with multiples and accompanying figures.

Keep up the innovation and new ideas.

My only request would be some additional weathering make them look used rather than new.

Regards
Mark

Is it only me ? but to me it seems the trucks have no plastic winds-screen or windows
guy:)
 
These look terrific, Andy can I ask if the figures in the pic will be released again in this new white metal medium?

Cheers

Looking fantastic

But sitting passengers are a must (at least 6 variants !!)

I'll also look into my crystal ball and predict a Soviet version- again with passengers please !!! {sm4}
