The new Firefly tank and British tank cre are two of the best sets King and Country have ever produced!:D

I have noticed a couple of things but, the German tank crew from two years ago has five figures who are all doing relatively different things, and one has a wrench in his hand so obviously doing mechanical work. However the American tank crew has 3 figures, again one of which is lying on his back doing mechanical work.
The British tank crew has 3 amazing figures!:DHowever not one has a wrench on them!:eek:Are the British tanks so good that thy do not need maintenence?:p

King and Country's Standards are higher than ever now, and it's brilliant!:D
But we could use some british tankers with a wrench or screw driver in their hands, maybe to even up the sets?
They would look great standing beside/working on a British Firefly which is maybe having some engine trouble?:D

Also last years British 3rd Infantry sets were great expertly detailed!:DHow about an up-to-date 'Tommy Patrol'?
The original Fob figures would be really great, so maybe they could be released except in different paint schemes?:D

Maybe a Tank with no figures and all hatches closed?Or a tank with hatches open and a commander sitting atop the hatch shooting a sten gun or a flaming tank with a commander pulling a crew mate from the burning hull of the tank?:DAnd a Crewman on the ground providing covering fire with a sten or rifle?:D
 
Well, that's July's Dispatches covered. What do you want to see in August? :p;)
 
Scott, at this rate you will be in danger of being labeled the new JG! :eek::p:D:D

That's because they are tank crew and not mechanics. It was against union rules for tank crew to service their own vehicles just as it was against union rules for the mechanics to drive the tank more than 100 yards and then only for maintenance purposes. That prctice was ended by Maggie Thatcher because of the Falklands.
