AUGUST NEW RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENTS​

TCS is pleased to reveal our August release with an emphasis on vehicles and heavy weapons. The exception being some great 100 year war sets. Our customers have been pleading with us to create a mounted Henry V and we have honored that request. In addition we thought we’d include him with some Men-At- Arms just to round out the release.



Collector’s hell bent on acquiring Berlin 1939 style sets will have a real unique release to snap up. It’s the Alpha Romeo state limo that Hitler and his little pal Mussolini wowed the masses with during his visit to Florence. Add Gian Galleazzo to the rear seat ( sold separately ) for a more "fastive" appearance^&grin



“Michael Wittmann: another one again?” No..Not just any Michael Wittmann tank put his infamous East Front Sturmgeschutze. This is the mount Wittmann rode before stepping up to a Tiger. A perfect set for those fellas that have a soft side for the Eastern front.



A long time in coming is another great 88 set. This one with two Fallschirmjager crew sets. One set is attired in Continental uniforms and the other style in a North Afrikan or Italian front uniform alternate. Each set comes with spent ammo casings and ammo containers. Legs fold up so you can use it on any trail.




We hope that keeps you fellas mighty busy setting up new dioramas! I look forward to seeing all you guys at the OTSN Chicago show this year!
Tally Hoooo!

WOW nice release Brian the STUG is awesome,and you can never have enough 88,s.

 

[villagehorse]

Yep a Grey Stug.^&cool, Robin.

 

[Hunter Rose]

Very nice looking grey StuG. I like the sculpts on the Fallschirmjaegers as well. These look like very nice sets.

Now that you have shown a willingness to make grey vehicles, you need to re-release your Panzer III M in grey as well.

Interesting releases. Nice to see some FJ's and their sculpts look quite different for TCS much leaner than normal figures which, is no bad thing. Great animation.

A Wittmann stug!! to be used after 9 Nov 41 with MW's rank of Oberscharfuhrer. Shame he is depicted as having the ritterkreuz I always thought he got that a little later.

Its a nice looking release.

I like the Stug, very nice indeed. Gotta love a Stug! Can I ask the stats fans, did Wittman get more kills in his Stug or later in the Tiger?

Rob

Almost certainly with the Tiger. He had a few Big Kill periods in the Tiger. Probably the Stug III was next and least in the Pz III

The 88 & crew looks awesome and even though I'm generally not a CS collector, I'm definitely tempted into taking the plunge with either the Desert or Normandy sets......very nice!

 

[Poppo]

Strange that so many collectors are focused on one same character like Wittman ^&confuse......The german panzer aces were many, like and better than Wittman;but how many Wittman have been made by most manufacturers......{sm2}

Either people don' t know history, or they lack of fantasy.....

 

[Rob]

Almost certainly with the Tiger. He had a few Big Kill periods in the Tiger. Probably the Stug III was next and least in the Pz III

Terry

Thanks Terry. He certainly had a big kill period in Normandy when he took out that armoured column didn't he!{eek3}

[Vezzolf]

Yes, very nice releases indeed...... The sculpts and camo paint look very good on the WWII Fallschrimjagers......I really like the Stug as well.... I have been asking FL to do this AFV for some time now but I don't think it will be done by them any time soon I have built a 1:35th grey model Stug but it is definitely too small to match up with FL Stalingrad)....Gentlemen This is "NOT" "I REPEAT NOT" to start a scale discussion/war but is the Stug made in 1:28th or is it true 1:30th.....I would definitely purchase the 88mm gun if it was indeed 1:30th.....Excellent releases Brian....KUDOS to CS....WELL DONE:salute:::salute::

 

[Mitch]

Almost certainly will not be 1/30th and will be 1/28th.

Rob

PProbably less than most people think - about 14 tanks out of his WWII total of 138. I haven't looked at the detailed career numbers or read his biography but his most successful period by far was in Russia. He didn't live very long in Normandy.

As Poppo says, there were several tank commanders as good or better than Wittmann.

Might start with 2 first off mate.

 

[Hunter Rose]

Gentlemen This is "NOT" "I REPEAT NOT" to start a scale discussion/war but is the Stug made in 1:28th or is it true 1:30th.....I would definitely purchase the 88mm gun if it was indeed 1:30th.....Excellent releases Brian....KUDOS to CS....WELL DONE:salute:::salute::

Pretty safe bet to say 1/28.

It's got the same tracks/body dimenstions as the Panzer III and other recent TCS StüG, so should be the slightly larger dimensions that look more correct with KC, TGM, and TCS figures. Since the first Panthers I've yet to have a TCS vehicle that didn't scale closer to 1/28.

I am liking te sculpts of te FJs more and more as I look at them. The proportions seem to be very good, not too chunky, and they look a lot "crisper" in detail than some of the recent figures. Same for the figure sets from the Sturmtiger. Looks to be a good direction TCS is heading in.
