Thanks for the photo! I still have my old Conte boats and really like them, but the forthcoming K & C one looks like their best yet, very nice!
I'm really looking forward to these D-day releases.

What I would like to see for D-Day are the "funnies" based on Churchill and Sherman tank chassis

Sorry , maybe i'm a little off topic but in the Toy Soldier Collector Asia group on FB i noticed 2 beautiful new figures of the Vietnam Range. They are the surfing colonel of Apocalypse Now (not surfing in the pose) and an Australian soldier with the Owen submachine gun taken directly from a Osprey plate of a book about the Indonesian Confrontation ...

You are correct my friend!
The 'surfing colonel' is Colonel Kilgore, the Senior Air Cav officer from 'Apocalypse Now' who uttered those immortal phrases, "Charlie don't surf!" And..."I just love the smell of napalm in the morning!"
The Aussie officer with the Owen gun is the Annual K&C 'OzTrip' figure that celebrates my yearly pilgrimage down under to visit K&C's Dealers and collectors in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne where we will also be previewing the upcoming Australian 'Centurion'main battle Tank, K&C's biggest-ever armoured vehicle.
That's all for now folks, time to take the dogs out for their 'walkies'....
All the best,
Andy.

This figure with the Owen will be available to all collectors?

Not long now!
Regarding Higgins board my good friend Liam Flynn pointed out that one of the LCVPs is an older model so perhaps we will see only one new model.
