Battle of Britain summer (1 Viewer)

[Rob]

Just wondering how many of you guys are looking forward to RAF / Luftwaffe releases later this summer and what do you think we will see?.I think Andy said sometime back we will see an ambulance and petrol bowser,I'm also hoping for maybe an anti aircraft gun of some sort.

On the bad ol' Jerrries side I'm hoping for the Stuka,although the ME109 will be first I guess.

Excuse my enthusiasm guys,but with the big Anniversary this year,K&C's releases,and huge wave of books,tv,dvd's etc I am one very happy and excited collector!

Andy,how about a clue?!

Rob,
I think you are going to see a Fw 190 before the stuka or bf 109. I would like a clue as to which aircraft markings will be modelled

Mike,quite right,I'd forgotten the FW190.

Its a bit difficult to see in this pic,but this is the camo I'd like,that 'speckled' look

Didn't Andy announce the order of aircraft releases in a previous thread? Or was it just which aircraft but in no particular order?

Hard for me to forget, as its all I think about!

Agree about the speckled camo, but Andy did tell me that the plane would be from a famous ace......so let the speculations begin

I'm excited about the RAF range however it begins with the Spitfire. I know its boring and predictable but it is essential, I've got a space all ready for it. Once it arrives on the scene all the other figures/vehicles etc merely support that centrepiece. Waiting patiently.

New RAF Ambulance, Fuel Bowser, Firetruck and Utility Truck would all be on my wish list . . .

I hate to bring this up, but with all of the WWI releases, wouldn't some Royal Flying Corps aircraft, pilots, groundcrew, and vehicles be fun . . .

WWI airplanes would be awesome, Red Baron, Billy Bishop etc. Those would tie in and strengthen the WWI lineup. Also really like the idea of a firetruck and fueltruck for the RAF in WWII. Louis its like you're reading my mind!

Rob,
Good page of color plates. My "wish list" would include a winterized Fw190 as flown by Nowothy - have also expressed this directly to K&C. As winter tigers are popular, why not a winter focke-wulf? I would settle with any winterized version of this fighter!

This is a great idea! For the German side, the recent movie "Red Baron", while not perfect, is enough to get your creative juices flowing......I watched it twice on my 15" laptop screen, perhaps a HD viewing on the 60" TV is in order?

Al, a very good possibility, and I think it was modelled by K&C in the wooden warbird version, if I am not mistaken.
