My two cents as well. First to Andy, thanks for weathering the storms. King and Country has been around a lot longer then many and you have inspired numerous others to follow. When the other companies witheared you continued, you improved adapted and overcame. Your success has truly helped the hobby! Thank you!
Now as far as Britians new stuff? I would suggest a few things. First off your going to have a hard time pumping out a Panzer four in resin when I can buy a 21st century piece or a FOV piece thats half the price or one fith. So I would suggest you go with things that compliment the other lines in your scale. To begin with. If you continue with the more common pieces add to them something the others dont have. If you do a Stug or panzer find a model not well represented ( good luck) add in tank riders, and a good crew, accessories, this alone will sell the vehicle.
Cargo trucks are missing. A opel Blitz and of course the Deuce are badly needed in this scale. An SDKfz 7 with a rear mounted Flakverling or single 37mm flak gun with a mtd gun crew? and ammo trolly!
Release your 251 hanamogs with a mounted crew or dissmtg greniders? It makes em more attractive. Also how about multiple versions of this, you already have the base? Rockets, radio racks etc? flak gun or pak mounted?
Lastly Axis vehicels are well represented. American on the other hand? British? There are at least five companies producing 1:32 shermans? None produce an M10? None produce the M7? A cromwell? If you do a cromwell, eay add is use the base new turett with the bofors, bang for your manufacturing dollar. M10 is pretty much the same thing as the sherman, new turrett. How about you keep the smaller field artillary comming as well? Nebbelwuffer towed type, with crew? Flak gun and trolly towed? US atg with airborne crew? ( love your pak 75) You have a pak 40 with Wermacht, kick out some more guns in cammoo paint with an SS crew, again more bang on your investment. Oh and how about a 10.5 CM field gun for the Germans? It would go well with the other artilary pieces you have.
As far as figures go if you do a set represent with it. Take for instance your last set of Falscherimjager? Three guys with an odd cammo scheme nobody has ever seen? All three in **** near the same pose running? If you do a set back it up so there is a few sets. I would like to see say a mortor team, MG-42 group, then add in figure sets of threes and fours, and give us five sets of these guys, that way we have a collection not a single set? This is where nobody can touch Andy. He has Normandy covered,( as he covers each subject with material that allows you to create or collect the entire theater of operation. Just about every unit you could want every pose, every vehicle tank, ATG, LCVP, LST etc etc etc. Show everyone that you can do Normandy ( or any other theater) on a scale so grand and you will find more faithful customers.
Anyway hope this helps, I will be awaiting eagerly all your new stuff. Good luck and keep it comming!
