Dear K&C Forum,
It’s a real pleasure to read all of your comments, suggestions and ideas about K&C and our models.
Here’s just a few points that might illuminate your discussions:-
(1) K&C moving out of WWII Fighting Vehicles
No way, they’re too popular and getting more so! In fact, I wish I could do more. This rumour may have started when some collectors asked me to produce more modern vehicles – Humvees, M1 Abrams etc., I replied that “Forces of Valor” had that contemporary side pretty well covered and I preferred to go mainly WWII (which is my own personal preference and interest).
I believe K&C bring a unique and original twist to WWII that even the mass produced F.O.V. don’t quite bring off (good though they are).
(2) ARNHEM
For some reason a few US collectors have christened this “ARNHEIM” – I don’t know where ARNHEIM is but I do know ARNHEM is in Holland.
(3) The K&C Online Collectors Club
The Club has just brought out 2 new CLUB exclusive figures including a very nice Wehrmacht soldier in “parade” uniform – check him out. It might be worth joining for. This year besides the 1-Year Membership we are launching a 2-Year membership as well. 1-Year Membership members can get ONE free figure while 2-Year Membership members can get TWO club figures ABSOLUTELY FREE. Remember in addition to a FREE figure(s), you get 4 issues of “K&C Collector” our own 8 page, full colour quarterly which keeps you up to date with all K&C developments. And only US$38/ US$70! Well, that’s enough of the advertising. Check out the details in www.kingandcountry.com!
(4) In the Works Dept
I’m really excited about the 7 add-on sets of Germans for “Battle of the Bulge”. Lots of great “winter” camouflage plus, I hope, a “personality figure” of Sepp Dietrich, commander of 6th Panzer Army. Available September.
Also we’re adding more LAH figures in October. A bit earlier in July will be our DUKW amphibious vehicle – great for these D. Day beach dioramas.
(5) D. Day Paratroopers
We’ve put a small hole in the top of the canopy and put a length of black thread through it for all collectors to suspend their ‘chutes from any high point.
Well, that’s all for now – Best wishes… and happy collecting to one and all.
Andy
